Chernobyl victims
ask for foreign aid *
A Soviet republic today asked ^
for international help to relocate
and give medical aid to more
than 2 million people, including Sl
600,000 children, affected by the
1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident. 31
The sudden plea ? more than 12
four years after the accident ?
comes after Soviet scientists said ^
the situation was much worse sj
than Moscow had portrayed. aj
One-fifth of the republic of
Byelorussia's more than 10 mil- |~
lion neoole have to be moved j |
from areas contaminated by radiation,
said Victor Borovikov, a
Byelorussia diplomat. He said it
includes 27 cities and more than
2,600 villages.
"We have no energy, no transportation,
no communications,"
in these regions, he told reporters.
He was in Brussels for the
departure Wednesday of a truck
convoy carrying donated children's
medicine to Minsk, the republic's
capital.
He said 25,000 people were
moved after the April 28, 1986,
accident in the Ukraine. But, he
said, "then Moscow said there
was no panic, no danger. In the
past four years we've realized
the situation was not so simple."
