Falluja children affected by depleted uranium
  • USA, Faluja launched two attacks in Iraq in 2004, in February of this year and in November of this year. The city was devastated by the protection of the military of Saddam Hussein and the Sunni guerrillas. Many of the children born there today come into the world with terrible malformations. Same thing in Basra as in Naiaf. Damage to modern ischilos.

AEBetako Michigan estatuan inprimatzen den The Arab American News astekariaren orria bildu du ondoko irudiak. Urtarrilaren 8-14ko zenbakiak titulu hau dakar: "Ann Arbor ospitaleko toxikologoaren ikerketak lotu ditu Falujako jaioberrien akatsak eta AEBen armak".  Ezkerreko argazkiko umeak buruan dauka malformazio nabarmena eta eskubikoak zangoetan, ziurrenik nerbioen hodiaren itxiera txarrak eraginda. Joan den martxoan Karlos Zurutuzak Argiako Iraketik blogean"Gernika gogoan" sarrera dedikatu zion Falujari. Zurutuzak oroitarazi du amerikarrek hango erasoetan napalma erabili zutela eta fosforo zuria ere bai; hau bera izan liteke kantzer ugalketaren kausa. "2011n ere, Falujako kaleak sarraski haren lekuko mutuak dira. Zortzi urte igaro arren, falujarrak, irakiarrak, errautsetan bizi dira oraindik", dio Zurutuzak.

Karlos Zurutuza announced the situation of Nassar and his son Mohamed, a cancer patient, at the hospital in the city of Basra in February: “However, here we all know where this scourge has come from. In the war of '91, the Americans dropped bombs containing uranium here. The forest became a space to test new weapons. They say that many of their soldiers were also affected by cancer, but they were the ones who threw the guns, and they chose to come here. My children, however, have never chosen anything.”

In June, the French newspaper Le Monde gave the following title to the theme: Fallouja, les "bébés monstres" soulvent des questions sur les armes américaines utilisées en 2004. The journalist Angélique Ferat had prepared for the radio France Info and the weekly Paris-Match L’armée américaine a-t-elle utilisé l’arm nucléaire in Iraq? report. The Guardian of London published the following chronicle in December 2010: “A study relates the malformations and foreign ministers born in Falluja to U.S. attacks.” In 2009, The Guardian dedicated long chronicles to the subject. The two newspapers that have connections with El País in Madrid do not usually make sensationalism with military affairs.

Do you remember Faluja? He was first attacked in April 2004 by the US Army one year after Saddam Hussein entered Iraq to defeat him. Operation Vigilant Resolve was ignited by the killing of resistance to four Blackwater mercenaries, outsourced by the military.

But the hardest attack was done by U.S. soldiers in November, with the operation called Phantom Fury, which began in November. The U.S. military chiefs acknowledged that the battle was “the most violent one that took place in the city of Hue in Vietnam in 1968.” Death? 2,000, the Americans say, and most of them are armed rebels. Over 6,000 and most civilians, according to Iraqi NGOs and doctors. Of the 50,000 buildings in Falluja, 36,000 were destroyed, 60 schools, 65 mosques, which were destroyed by the police. 200,000 people became refugees.

Karlos Zurutuza equaled Falluja with Gernika. Some scientists are reminded of Hiroshima by the consequences it had on their newborns many years after the war.

Angélique Ferroat Falloujah from Paris Match: The photo we use to illustrate the story L’autre guerre is amazing; whoever wants to see it online can breathe deeply. The face of the one-year-old boy presented to him by Dr. Samira Al-Ani is to take the sleep off at the hottest.

“The photos,” writes Ferat- are impressive: here a child born on an empty stomach, his cavities are all in a bag on the outside. Another has been created without skin, the other without skull and with the brain in sight. Survivors have malformations in the heart, an incomplete nervous system, or a disfigured face. He remembers little Alaa, who had only one eye on the

forehead.”

In 2008, UK TV Sky News reported that the numbers of malformations in children in Falluja were alarming. In 2009, The Guardian informed readers that 37 children with malformations had been created in three weeks at the city's main hospital.

The doctors of his hospital gave the journalist the statistic that malformations of newborn babies multiplied by 15 in one year. The most striking case was that of a two-headed boy. In 2010, statistics continued to rise. Of the 547 boys and girls admitted to the main hospital in Falluja in May, 15% had malformations, such as an unclosed nervous tube, which has negative effects on the legs as in the brain, abnormalities in the heart or skeleton, cancer...

The journalist met Zainab Abdul Latif, a young 29-year-old mother who has been arrested in Madrid. Of his three sons, Mariam 6 years old, Amar 5 and Mustafa 3 are not able to walk. They cannot eat or drink without help. Doctors have warned you that you are delayed and paralyzed in the nervous system.

“Before 2003,” said hospital director Ayman Qais- these deformities rarely occurred. Now they have multiplied greatly.” Iraqi and British doctors called on the UN Secretary-General to organize a special and independent commission of inquiry to study the damage of the war and to help clean up the toxic materials disseminated.

Christopher Busby, consulting member Green Audit and specializing in the effects of low-level radiation, is sure to be the key to the weapons used by the Americans in the city's bombings. In addition to the white phosphorus prohibited by law, artillery EE.UU. He used ammunition enriched with depleted uranium, which is the way the military feeds. The study by Busby with Malak Hamdan and Entesar Ariabi was published in 2010 by the International Journal of Environmental research and Public Health, showing that in the period 2006-2009 Faluja increased mortality by 80%, while in Egypt it increased by 19.8% and in Jordan by 17%.

In December 2010, Mozhgan Savabiesfahani and other experts published in the same scientific journal a new study explaining that a child who comes to the world in Falluja has an 11 times greater risk than anyone who forms anywhere else in the world to be born from malformation. This is the data from May 2010: 15% of the 547 children who were created had malformations and 11% were born before that time. This research is the first to refer to uranium from American weapons.

A new study by Christopher Busby is about to publish the prestigious journal The Lancet, which should cause a lot of stir: Busby says that in the soil of Falluja, in people’s hair, in the air and in the water, he has found traces not of impoverished plutonium, but of enriched plutonium. Asked by Jean-Dominique Merchet, a military specialist in the writing of Le Monde, he says that it would not make sense for this type of uranium, which is very radioactive, to be used by a power where its own soldiers are involved. It will have to be seen.

No one disputes, however, that depleted uranium has been produced. The United States Government says that nowhere has it been shown to harm human beings. Being uranium a heavy metal, it has a special ability to drill the shields placed in tanks as in buildings. It also appears to be involved in the drilling of genes in humans.
