Kim Phuc Phan Thi, the subject of the infamous Napalm Girl photograph from the Vietnam war, has finished one of her final major treatments for the burns she sustained as a result of the bombing.

Just nine-years-old when the image was taken, 50 years later Ms Phan Thi has received her final skin treatment after decades of pain from the intense scarring the Napalm caused.

The photograph, taken on June 8, 1972, won a Pulitzer Prize for Associated Press photographer Nick Ut and became a defining image of the war.
