As Hiroshima marks 80 years since U.S. atomic bombing, survivor says "nuclear weapons and humanity cannot co-exist"

Ninety-six-year-old Junji Sarashina, a Hiroshima atomic bombing survivor, recounts his harrowing experience. He witnessed the devastation firsthand, highlighting the immense loss of life. Toshiyuki Mimaki, another survivor, and his organization, Nihon Hidank-yo (winners of the Nobel Peace Prize), continue to advocate against nuclear weapons. With fewer than 100,000 hibakusha remaining, concerns rise about the fading memories of the bombing. However, younger generations, like 15-year-old Minami Sato, are committed to preserving these stories and promoting a world free from nuclear weapons. Japan's Prime Minister reiterated the nation's commitment to nuclear disarmament.
