Agent Orange lives on in Vietnam

Vietnam toxic legacy lives on

Nguyen Thi Kim Vang had never seen a child with birth deformly before the Vietnam War.Of her children,three died in the first few months,two are normal and the sixth still cannot recognise her despite the fact Mrs. Vang has nursed,change her nappies and fed her every day for 25 years.Her husband spent years in the jungle fighting for the Vietcong and was exposed to defoliants sprayed by U.S. forces.

Her daughter,Doung Thi Thu Huong,now 25, was born apparently normal but a week later developed marks on her skin.Today she is a twisted shell,with the body weight of a 10 year-old,twitching in her dilapidated wheelchair in the simple family home Vung Tau, a small coastal town two hours south of Ho Chi Minh City.
