Firestorm cloud over Hiroshima
PEACE campaigners and survivors will mark the 76th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima tomorrow by calling for nuclear disarmament and Britain’s demilitarisation.
Commemorations organised by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) will take place across Britain highlighting the human impact of the bombings on August 6, 1945.
By the end of 1945 the bombing and its aftermath had killed an estimated 140,000 people in Hiroshima, with a further 74,000 dying from the bombing of Nagasaki on August 9.
