Chernobyl Survivors Face New War Horrors | Cork News
Description
Fiona Corcoran, founder of the Greater Chornobyl Cause, is on the front lines in Ukraine, where her charity’s mission has been shattered and expanded by war — from helping Chernobyl survivors to now rescuing families torn apart by Russian strikes that killed ten and left neighborhoods in ruins. She recounts heartbreaking stories like Lena and Igor’s, whose mother died and son is traumatized, while once-bustling malls now stand as blackened skeletons. The elderly, already vulnerable from the 1986 disaster, now face war’s horrors with little support. With their single care facility overwhelmed, they’re urgently seeking help to open a second in-patient home — and public donations have already funded critical aid like ambulances and medical gear.
