Atomic Bomb Survivors Nobel Peace Prize, Urge Nuclear Disarmament

The Nihon Hidankyo group, composed of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors, highlights the urgent need for nuclear abolition amid rising global tensions.

Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese organization of atomic bomb survivors, has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its longstanding efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons.
Survivors, known as hibakusha, emphasize the importance of educating younger generations about the horrors of nuclear warfare as their numbers dwindle.
The group warns of the increasing risk of nuclear conflict, citing global tensions and recent threats involving nuclear capabilities.
While accepting the prize, some members expressed that activists in conflict zones like Gaza also deserve recognition for their peace efforts.
The award has reignited discussions on nuclear disarmament, with survivors urging a global commitment to abolish nuclear arms to prevent future tragedies.
