A South Vietnamese family wade across a river while escaping a bombing raid by US forces. Their town had been a local base for Vietcong forces and US authorities recommended citizens to evacuate before the raid. (September 7th, 1965) [1600×1081]
Kyōichi Sawada’s photograph "Flight to safety" was awarded the 1966 Pulitzer Prize for Photography. He was the second of three Japanese photographers to receive this award. He was killed in Cambodia in 1970 at the age of 34. 135 photographers from both sides would lose their lives during the Vietnam war.

No matter what side they were on, the suffering of the Vietnamese civilians during this war is truly heartbreaking.
