Gerd Ludwigさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Gerd LudwigInstagram)「Southern Belarus was severely affected by the nuclear fallout after the Chernobyl accident. Physically and mentally handicapped, 5 year-old Igor was given up by his parents to be cared for at a home for orphaned and abandoned children with disabilities. The home is one of several in Belarus receiving support from Chernobyl aid programs funded by humanitarian organizations around the world. One of those organizations, Chernobyl Children International, was founded by Irish activist Adi Roche, who made the care of Chernobyl victims her life. She also produced the 2004 Academy Award-winning documentary on Chernobyl victims called "Chernobyl Heart.” Since this photograph was taken (in 2005), the quality of care for these children has greatly improved, thanks to organizations like Adi’s. 33 years ago today, April 26, 1986, Reactor No. 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant blew up. The radioactive fallout spread over thousands of square kilometers, driving more than a quarter of a million people permanently from their homes. Even after Fukushima, scientists consider it the worst nuclear accident to date. @thephotosociety #Chernobyl #theLongShadowofChernobyl #Ukraine #Belarus #ChernobylChildren」4月27日 0時03分
