   Ms. Yanada recalls all too clearly that mid-summer day in 1945 when US warplanes dropped an atomic bomb in Hiroshima. A second atom bomb was dropped by the USA on the southwestern city of Nagasaki three days later, forcing Japan to surrender to the allied forces and bringing the Pacific war to an end. More than 1,40,000 people were killed instantly after the nuclear blasts and many more died in the months and years after. Victims continue to die each year from cancer and radiation-linked illnesses. Today Ms. Yanada is part of a group called Japan Confederation of A & H Bomb Sufferers, made up of survivors like her struggling for a fair deal in life. In Japan, a vast number of people are still lobbying the government to give them the status they have been denied for so long.
