A South Korean woman has been offered a little over US$4 in government compensation for the death of her brother during the 1950-53 Korean War, Reuters reported.
The woman was two years old when her brother was killed in combat in 1950, but never knew of his existence until told of his death by a neighbor.
The family had not received any compensation until April when the soldier's sister was awarded 5,000 won (US$4.33) under a law in effect during the war.
The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission has called the decision "incomprehensible" and urged the government to review it.（點擊路透社網站查看原文）
韓僅賠烈士家屬4美元
?????? 據路透社報道，一位韓國女子有個哥哥在1950-53年的朝鮮戰爭中陣亡，日前她僅得到了4美元多一點的政府賠償。
?????? 1950年哥哥陣亡時，該女子只有兩歲，但是直到鄰居告訴她哥哥陣亡的事情時，她才知道自己還有個哥哥。
?????? 直到四月份，這家人才收到賠償款。根據戰時的某法律，戰士的妹妹被判予5000韓元（4.33美元）的賠償金。
?????? 國民權益委員會稱該決定“不可理解”，敦促政府對決定進行重審。
