Hiroshima's Forgotten Korean Victims Still Seek Justice | JQJO

The BBC reports on Korean survivors of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, highlighting their ongoing struggles with disfigurement, illness, and a lack of official recognition and apology from Japan and the US. Many Koreans were forced laborers in Hiroshima and suffered disproportionately high casualties. Survivors and their descendants continue to grapple with health issues, including cancer and genetic disorders, potentially linked to radiation exposure. Despite studies showing increased health problems in subsequent generations, the South Korean government's recognition of victims remains limited, and full justice and apology remain elusive.
