Public forum with Donna Mulhearn* on the toxic legacy of the war in Iraq
The city of Fallujah, west of
Baghdad has witnessed a large increase in birth deformities, cancers and heart
problems since the 2004 US attacks on the city. It's alleged that weapons used
in the attacks, white phosphorous and weapons containing depleted uranium have
contaminated the environment and left a toxic legacy that will affect
generations to come.
Donna Mulhearn has just
returned from her fourth trip to Iraq where she
spent a week at Fallujah
Hospital investigating and gathering stories on this important issue, described
as the new 'Agent Orange".
