DRESDEN: Kim Phuc Phan Thi (pic), the woman who for nearly five decades has been known as the “Napalm Girl” from a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph taken during the Vietnam War, has been awarded the Dresden Peace Prize for her activism.
The well-known photo by Associated Press photographer Nick Ut shows Kim Phuc, who now resides in Canada, at the age of nine running naked on a road after being severely burned on her back by a South Vietnamese napalm attack in 1972.
