Pham Thi Kim Phuc

Pham Thi Kim Phuc is a Vietnamese woman known for being the subject of the iconic 1972 photograph taken during the Vietnam War, which depicts her fleeing a napalm attack while severely injured. The photograph, captured by Nick Ut, became a symbol of the horrors of war and earned him a Pulitzer Prize. Years later, Phuc underwent treatment for her injuries in Miami and has since become a peace advocate, sharing her story to promote healing and reconciliation. Recent discussions have raised questions about the true photographer of the image, with claims that it was taken by Nguyen Thanh Nghe, prompting renewed interest in Phuc's remarkable life and the legacy of the photograph.
