‘Napalm girl’ Phan Thi Kim Phuc receives final burn treatment after 50 years
Phuc, pictured in 1972 running from napalm attack during Vietnam war, has final laser treatment in Miami
Phan Thi Kim Phuc, whose photograph became a symbol of the horrors of the Vietnam war, has had her final skin treatment with a burn specialist, 50 years after her village was struck by napalm.
Phuc was photographed aged nine as she ran, unclothed and screaming in agony, after napalm was dropped by a South Vietnamese Skyraider attack aircraft. Nick Ut, the photographer who captured the image in June 1972, drove her away to find medical treatment.
