This week marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, a brutal and devastating conflict that ended when the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon fell to Communist forces from the northern regime. But however long ago the war ended, today, millions of Vietnamese people still face a daily battle with a particularly deadly part of its legacy.
Today, around 3 million people, including many children, still suffer serious health issues associated with exposure to the chemical weapons used by US forces, who sprayed about 72 million litres of defoliant to strip the vegetation the northern forces used for cover.
