Swedish TV site about Chernobyl children

["Bjorn Cedervall" <bcradsafers@hotmail.com>]

The Swedish public TV service has a somewhat strange domestic news text 
today ( www.svt.se  see text TV section, page 115) about Chernobyl children 
who will spend three weeks in Sweden (the original is given below - directly 
copy-pasted). Essentially the text reads:

"60 children from Chernobyl for a visit

Today an airplane with 60 radiation injured children from the Chernobyl area 
landed in Skellefteå (//town in northern Sweden//). The children are in the 
age group 7 to 13 years old..."

"Many of the children have cancer and come from bad living conditions... The 
arranging part is Hoppets Stjärna ("Star of the Hope")... After three weeks 
a new group of children will arrive...."

Now - don't misunderstand me - this is about children. We all care about the 
health of children - and it is great giving malnutritioned children food. 
This a not the point. The point is about the age of the children and 
"radiation injured". What could reasonably be expected? Any comments?

     60 barn från Tjernobyl på besök

  Ett flygplan med 60 strålskadade barn
  från Tjernobylområdet landade i dag
  i Skellefteå. Barnen är i åldrarna
  7-13 år och ska tillbringa tre veckor
  på en kursgård.

  Många av barnen har cancer och lever
  under svåra förhållanden. På
  Österjörns kursgård får de näringsrik
  mat och nya kläder.

  Arrangör är biståndsorganet Hoppets
  stjärna. Lägervistelsen bekostas till
  största delen av insamlade pengar.

  När gruppens tre veckor är slut
  anländer en ny grupp barn.
