(VOVworld)-Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan has presented gifts to families of Agent Orange/dioxin victims in the northern province of Bac Giang. He encouraged the recipients to overcome difficulties:“Some 200,000 victims of three generations have benefited from state supports but there are still more than 3 million people exposed to the defoliant and need to receive care. The Ministries of Health and Labor have reviewed procedures to recognize those eligible to receive state support and more victims will benefit from the scheme this quarter.”

In related news, more than 5,000 volunteers from Ho Chi Minh Red Cross Society launched a campaign on Saturday to gather support for Agent Orange/dioxin victims and people with disabilities. They will mobilize funding for a fund to care for the disabled and ease the misery of Agent Orange/dioxin victim families.
