RT reports that leukemia and birth defects “rose dramatically” in Iraq, due to use of depleted uranium by the US military since 2003.
According to Dr. Sundus Nsaif, "After the start of the Iraq war, rates of cancer, leukemia and birth defects rose dramatically in Najaf. The areas affected by American attacks saw the biggest increases. We believe it’s because of the' illegal' weapons like depleted uranium that were used by the Americans. When you visit the hospital here you see that cancer is more common than the flu."
Parents who lost children due to the deformities and defects claim "The war isn’t over. Yes, the Americans are gone, but we are still suffering from the Consequences."
