Agent Orange #video#Vietnam The Vietnam War ended in 1975, but its horrible impact echoes across generations of Vietnamese. Tu Du hospital in Ho Chi Minh City is home to dozens of children born with an array of defects, including missing limbs, abnormal head growths, and severe developmental and mental health disorders. This is because all their ancestors were once exposed to Agent Orange, a potent dioxin-laced defoliant. The US military used the chemical to clear dense jungle to drive out Vietcong fighters. The US warplanes dropped some 68 million litres of Agent Orange in a decade. It caused cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and disabilities in those immediately exposed. Children at the Tu Du hospital are ‘in pain’, the medical staff say. Most of the kids are orphans whose parents couldn’t take care of them. It’s a sinister testimony of the Agent Orange legacy in Vietnam. For the entire documentary, click here. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
