Chernobyl Children' Forgotten in Budget Cuttingチェルノブイリゾーン:予算削減で汚染食品を食べねばならなかったり、お昼を食べれない子供たちがいる!!!


Summary


This mother knows the risk every time she prepares meals for 4 children, the foods are contaminated with radiation due to Chernobyl accident, which spewed radioactive materials 30 years ago. 

 Last year, the cash strapped Ukranian government cancelled the local school lunch programs for 350,000 children.  So families are having resort to milk and food from land still contaminated.  This 8 year old boy suffers from enlarged thyroid which is linked with radiation.  “The nurse says that we have to go to Kiev for treatment, but my father says we will go later.”   

The government stopped supplying some substance to reduce cesium 137 from milk.  Without government help, farmers are unwilling to buy them on their own.  The families who live in 3 zones are evacuated, but zone 4 are not eligible.  We know there is a danger, but what else can we do?  There is no other way to survive here.  

Without any state supplied lunch, these tables are empty, and many children eat meals out of questionable quality, and this 9 year old girl whose mother has cancer simply miss meal and would go hungry.  Children go fainted and they get collapsed when there is no food.  


Dr. Yuri Bandazhevsky is a pediatrician who has studied the effect of small dose of radiation on human body.  “I have to say that nobody cares about this.  And those hungry children are the proof how the authority treats the population which is suffering in this region.”   

The studies differ on longtime radiation effects, some minimizing the effects and some indicating significant effects.  Gregory Hartl from WHO: “We have seen increased level thyroid cancer, and increasingly strong correlation between cardiovascular issues and exposure.”


 Ukraine’s institute of radiology showed high level of radiation of nuts, fruits, and mushroom, 2 to 5 times of permissible level in Zone 4.  People here are affected by the residues of Chernobyl contamination in addition to the deteriorated economy.
