London Surgeons Help 'Children of Agent Orange'
Video Report By BBC
The Vietnam War ended nearly 40 years ago, but the casualties
continue as birth defects plague the country.
There are claims that thousands of children continue to be born
with horrific facial deformities due to the 20 million gallons of
Agent Orange chemical sprayed by the United States.
The Vietnamese call the disfigured youngsters 'the children of
Agent Orange'.
Da Nang in central Vietnam is thought to have the highest level of
congenital deformity in the world.
Inside Out's Mark Jordan joins a team of top London plastic
surgeons on their unpaid mission to help these children through the
charity Facing the World.
