Agent Orange was a chemical used by the Americans during the Vietnam War. To date, the number of victims suffering from the effects of Agent Orange stands at 1 million. It causes illnesses such as Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Spina Bifida. In May 1996, the US administration itself admitted that this substance has caused illnesses and abnormal births. President Clinton has announced that compensation would be paid to American families who have suffered as a result of its use of Agent Orange during the war. However, no offer of compensation has been made to Vietnamese people who suffer from Agent Orange-related illnesses.
In support of the Britain-Vietnam Friendship Society's (BVFS's) campaign to secure compensation for Vietnamese victims, Dimsum brings you a Vietnam Report by the BVFS. |
