5 Million Vietnamese Still Affected by Agent Orange

  • 9 years ago
Five million Vietnamese still suffer from the effects of Agent Orange, the chemical weapon dropped by US forces on the Southeast Asian nation during its war of liberation. Children continue to be born with deformities 30 years after the end of the Vietnam War. Both the Vietnamese government and the victims of the defoliant are demanding reparations. Three previous U.S. court cases were dismissed for lack of proof, but now with a team of U.S. lawyers, the plaintiffs will again be filing a lawsuit. teleSUR
