MINSK, BELARUS - MARCH 14: 4-month old Liza from Minsk was admitted to the emergency room yesterday, She has been diagnoised with an obstruction of her intenstine on March 14, 2006 in Minsk, Belarus. A 1995 United Nations report stated that the Chernobyl disaster caused a 250% increase in congenital birth deformities. On April 26, 1986, reactor number four at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station on the border of the Ukraine and Belarus exploded. The fire, which burned out of control for five days, spewed more than 50 tons of radioactive fallout across Belarus. The wind carried the heaviest radioactive deposits across Belarus, where even today a large portion of the land is considered uninhabitable. The government denied the accident happened for several days, allowing the people in the Gomel region of Belarus to linger in the radiation. The cause of the medical illnesses are often hard to find, and much harder to prove. But, the rise in the number of cancer cases and other health problems in this region is too great for any other conclusion ? it has to be the radiation.
