WHO Refuses to Publish Report on Cancers and Birth Defects in Iraq Caused by Depleted Uranium Ammunition


[globalresearch / 13.09.2013] The World Health Organisation (WHO) has categorically refused in defiance of its own mandate to share evidence uncovered in Iraq that US military use of Depleted Uranium and other weapons have not only killed many civilians, but continue to result in the birth of deformed babies.
Almost nine years later,  a joint WHO- Iraqi Ministry of Health Report on cancers and birth defect in Iraq was to be released in November 2012. “It has been delayed repeatedly and now has no release date whatsoever.”

To this date the WHO study remains “classified”.

According to Hans von Sponeck, former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations,
“The US government sought to prevent the WHO from surveying areas in southern Iraq where depleted uranium had been used and caused serious health and environmental dangers.” (quoted in Mozhgan Savabieasfahani Rise of Cancers and Birth Defects in Iraq: World Health Organization Refuses to Release Data, Global Research, July 31, 2013

Irak: Uranmunition - strahlendes Vermächtnis [NDR]


Im letzten Irak-Krieg verschossen die Alliierten hunderte von Tonnen uranhaltiger Munition. Die panzerbrechende Waffe wirkt noch nach Jahren. Um Basra, im Süden des Landes, beträgt die Strahlenbelastung nach Messungen unabhängiger Experten das 20fache des Normalwertes. Vor allem Kinder, die auf den irakischen Panzerwracks spielen, erkranken. Die Zahl der Missbildungen bei Neugeborenen nimmt zu.
