Minister of Health Mom Bunheng, on Thursday, told Fresh News that three kids born with physical abnormalities were found in the area of the US chemical weapons drop zone during the Vietnam War in Korki commune, Romeas Hek district, Svay Rieng province.
According to Dr. Bunheng, it was the US chemical weapons that made those kids born with physical disorder.
"We did a medical examination to people in the area, and we found three kids born with physical disorder, such as big head, deformed mouth, and a kid with itchy skin. After the examination, I believe it was the US chemical weapons that made those kids born with such physical disorder," said Dr. Bunheng.
Dr. Bunheng added that besides these three kids, the US chemical weapons could also make other people in the area born with physical abnormalities, because they live with Chemical weapons since 40 years. He and his team would find out by doing medical examination to more people living in the area.
So far, the Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) found 15 US chemical weapons in the drop zone. The weapons are confirmed by US experts as Chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS).
