This week coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnamese war – a cruel and destructive struggle, which ended at the fall of Segon under the attack of the Northern Vietnam forces. But today, millions of Vietnamese are still facing the deadly heritage of war.
Today, about three million people, including many children, are suffering from serious health problems associated with the effect of chemical weapons used by American forces, which sprayed about 72 million liters of conflict to destroy the vegetation used by the Northern Vietnam forces to cover.
More than half of them was very controlled, known under the name of the Orange code, a mixture of herbal pesticides, which, as is now known, causes serious problems in the development of the fetus during pregnancy and health problems in children born.
One of the victims is 34 -years -more than Hi. Such daily tasks such as the buttons on the buttons on the shirt, which he places when he goes to lessons in a private school in Danut, the study of the alphabet, or drawing numbers or collecting simple sentences is difficult for him.
Hai grew up in Danngy, where the American Air base is located, in which the Orange Warehouse worker is located, which has been preserved for decades, water and food sources contaminated in places such as the village of Hai.
“The influence on people in Vietnam is already found mainly in the second, third and perhaps fourth generations.
According to him, among the consequences – congenital defects, severe attacks, physical and mental deviations.
Orange Defoliant worker contains dioxin, one of the most dangerous substances, which is the damage on which the environment remains for a very long time.
For decades, Vietnam cleans the lands from the toxic heritage of war.
The United States began helping in mid -2000 after decades, ignoring many evidence of the consequences of using the orange factor. But now this assistance was in danger.
Anxiety about the decrease in the United States Agency for International Development
The Trump administration sharply reduced the expenses of the United States Agency for International Development (the United States Agency for International Development), and as a result, millions of Vietnam residents are concerned that dozens of dioxin are continuing to pollute 58 out of 63 provinces in the country.
In the event of fueling, as the US air base lands were exposed during the storage and transportation of the US air base to serious pollution, the United States spent about 106 million euros to finish in 2018. However, in Vietnam, the size of the ten in football fields remains non -cleaning of chemicals.
“I brought the disaster that uses the Orange agent pain and suffers from about four million Vietnamese,” says Naguin Van Ani, President of the Orange Undersecretary Association for victims.
“We believe that the United States government and manufacturers of this toxic chemical must be responsible and supported by the victims,” he notes.
For the veteran warrior in the war in Vietnam, the American Chaka Sirsi, which has been working on humanitarian programs in this country since 1995, can be trusted for years, quickly destroyed.
According to him, the funds from the United States to eliminate the legacy of the war were received by the recognized persons by the “innocent victims”.
“They have become victims twice: initially because of the war and its consequences, and now – because they are deprived of support,” Sercy confirms.
Natural protection structures are contaminated
Vietnam has been more than half of the mangruva that protects coastal lines from storms. In addition to the fact that herbal pesticides may cause irreparable damage to an important part of tropical forests, it has also exhausted the reserves of nutrients in the soil of some of the most vulnerable climate in the country’s regions.
For decades after the end of the war, authorities such as strongly contaminated areas such as Danance Airport are offended, and have begun to help the families of the victims, while Washington ignored data on long chemical weapons exposure to health, including veterans in the United States.
Today, Vietnam determines the victims of Orange, checking the history of the family, and data for living people with a list of health problems.
The country’s authorities believe that the health consequences are preserved for several generations, threatening children, grandchildren, and even grandchildren from those who have been exposed to chemicals.
Scientists note that science was not yet accurate to prove how the orange agent affects people’s health, as both direct and subsequent generations are exposed.
