In 1972, a photojournalist captured the moment 9-year-old Kim Phuc Phan Ti was seen running down a street, her body scalded, her clothes set on fire after being hit by a napalm. The photo won the Pulitzer Prize for Associated Press photographer Nick Ut. She was also nicknamed “Napalm Girl” and now 59 years old, Ms. Phan Ti received her latest skin treatment after decades of pain from severe scars on her torso. Her injuries were so severe that immediately after the attack doctors believed she would not survive, but after more than a year of treatment, her condition stabilized. She eventually recovered from her injuries and lived in Vietnam until 1992 before moving to Canada with her husband, where she still lives. However, he continued to suffer from pain and began specialized treatments with Dr. Jill Zwaibel in Miami several years ago, a job that the surgeon agreed to perform for free. “Now, 50 years later, I am no longer a victim of war, I am no longer the girl of Napalm, I am now a friend, a helper, I am a grandmother and now I am a survivor crying for peace,” Fan Ti told CBS recently. 50 years since the day he was injured.

Very hot!” she screamed running away from her burning village. “I still remember what I was thinking at the time – ‘My God, I’m burned, then I’ll be ugly, then people will see me differently.’ The image of Mr. Ut appeared on the front page of the New York Times the next day and he is still in contact with Ms. Phan Ti.

I told them three times and they said no, then I held my passport and said: “If he dies, my photo on every front page in every newspaper.” And they are worried when I say that and they took her inside immediately “.
