The Plight of Chernobyl's Contaminated Children (2002)

A little girl whimpers as a blanket brushes her raw skin. "I'm desperate to help her, but I'm totally powerless," wails her mother. Veronika was not even born when the nuclear reactor exploded at Chernobyl. She has been dying all her life. Although 135,000 residents were displaced from areas near the plant, thousands still live in the less contaminated regions. Things are slowly improving. New hospices and cancer wards, funded by foreign aid, help alleviate the children's suffering and life expectancy in the region is slowly increasing. Thanks to these schemes, there is now a glimmer of hope for Chernobyl's children.

My prayers go out to all those who suffer. I remember when that happened in 1986. God be with all of you.

The hospice director is an angel. That has to be a difficult job. Bless all the children who go there to cross over and all who help to make it easier for them and their families.

I remember an idiot that one time said that he feels disgusted for people with mutations and that. Total sociopath or sicopath, people sometimes dont have control of circumstances.
