Many families have seen their children born deformed, having mental disability or cancers because their parents or grandparents have been exposed to the chemical during the war.
The general said it’s even sadder when most of the victimized families are poor, with 70 percent of the families ranked as poor and 90 percent of the victims not having a trained job.
