Agent orange victim supporters honored
VTV.vn - For 10 years, from 1961 to 1971, the US military sprayed 80 million liters of toxic chemicals. 61% of them was Agent Orange, the most toxic of all the toxic chemicals used during the war.

Nearly one quarter of South Vietnam was sprayed and millions of victims were exposed. 56 years have passed, but the pain still persists in each victim's family. On August 8th, in Hanoi, an event to show gratitude and to honor those who have supported victims of Agent Orange in Vietnam was held.

Currently, Vietnam has 4.8 million people exposed to Agent Orange and over 3 million people who are victims. The community is working together and supporting families with victims of Agent Orange to help overcome their loss.
