ROME. Phan Thi Kim Phuc, the ex-girl in the famous photo of the 1972 napalm attack in Vietnam, accompanied 240 refugees from the war in Ukraine on a flight from Warsaw to Canada today. The Guardian reports on it. The Associated Press photo of Phuc running with his body burned by napalm, which has become a symbol of war in the Southeast Asian country, was printed on the NGO’s private plane that was taking refugees to the city of Regina, the Canadian capital Province of Saskatchewan. Kim, 59, now a Canadian citizen, said she wanted her story and her work for refugees to be a message of peace. She traveled from Toronto aboard the humanitarian plane with her husband, Bui Huy Toan. The 236 refugees, mostly women and children from across Ukraine, are among the thousands of Ukrainians who were issued humanitarian visas by Canada after Russia invaded their country.
