Today is #HalabjaMemorialDay, marking the 32nd year since the chemical weapons massacre in #Halabja in @Kurdistan. This genocidal attack alone killed an estimated 5,000 civilians in a matter of hours.

Here is one survivor’s account: bit.ly/3b5qAkp
Even today, the effects of the attack reverberate through the #Halabja community. People who were exposed to the chemicals continue to experience health problems, children are born with congenital deformities, and families remain shattered.

The city of #Halabja was not the only location targeted on that day. Similar, brutal attacks were conducted by Iraqi aircraft on surrounding villages.
