Living with 75 tons of depleted uranium in Gaza…
Gaza is littered with the depleted uranium Israel uses to strengthen its warheads. Now there will be many children born with deformities and even more precious land beyond human habitation or farming…
Gaza / PNN – ‘Citizens Action to Dismantle Nuclear Weapons Completely’ has prepared a 33 page report showing the presence of tens of tons of depleted uranium in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli attacks of late December and January are the culprit, report the international organization.
“The quantity of depleted uranium may amount to no less than 75 tons found in the soil and subsoil in the Gaza Strip,” is the study’s quote.
As many have suggested, the Israeli military used or may have used depleted uranium in the ground and air assaults on the Strip during the operation in the period between 27 December 2008 and January 18, 2009.

You have been totally conned. This story is false. Ask yourself. “How could anyone make a claim of “not less than 75 tons” – that’s pure hyperbole because there is no way that anyone could make such a statement. DU was not used in Gaza. The UN Environment Programmed proved that it was not used in Lebanon. They did a very thorough examination of each of 32 locations where it had been claimed that DU had been used. They found no DU, no uranium metal. Read the report at http://postconflict.unep.ch/publications.php?prog=lebanon
