Media failed to report the death and health toll from Chernobyl

by Christina MacPherson

Fukushima Not Even Close To Being Under Control, Oil Price, By
ZeroHedge Sun, 28 June 2015 "........As an example of how media fails
to deal with disaster blowback, here are some Chernobyl facts that
have not received enough widespread news coverage: Over one million
(1,000,000) people have already died from Chernobyl’s fallout.

Additionally, the Rechitsa Orphanage in Belarus has been caring for a
very large population of deathly sick and deformed children. Children
are 10 to 20 times more sensitive to radiation than adults.

Zhuravichi Children’s Home is another institution, among many, for the
Chernobyl-stricken: “The home is hidden deep in the countryside and,
even today, the majority of people in Belarus are not aware of the
existence of such institutions” (Source: Chernobyl Children’s
Project-UK).

One million (1,000,000) is a lot of dead people. But, how many more
will die? Approximately seven million (7,000,000) people in the
Chernobyl vicinity were hit with one of the most potent exposures to
radiation in the history of the Atomic Age.

The exclusion zone around Chernobyl is known as “Death Valley.” It has
been increased from 30 to 70 square kilometres. No humans will ever be
able to live in the zone again. It is a permanent “dead zone.”

Additionally, over 25,000 died and 70,000 disabled because of exposure
to extremely dangerous levels of radiation in order to help contain
Chernobyl. Twenty percent of those deaths were suicides, as the slow
agonizing “death march of radiation exposure” was too much to
endure........http://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Fukushima-Not-Even-Close-To-Being-Under-Control.html
