On the night of December 3rd 1984, the people of Bhopal, India, ran for their lives through the toxic gas cloud of the world's worst industrial disaster. Running through the gas, caused instant mis-carriages in expectant mothers, lungs to collapse and blindness. The gas was leaking from the American owned Union Carbide factory and immediately killed 8000 people and poisioned thousands of others. Today, 100,000 people are still chronically ill from the effects of that night.

The Bhopal Medical Appeal have set up two clinics in Bhopal to provide medical care to those still suffering from the lifelong effects of the gas, including those subsequently affected by drinking the contaminated water supplies.

Justine focused her dissertation on the Bhopal disaster and the subsequent suffering of the Bhopal victims; she has recently been volunteering for the Bhopal Medical Appeal and finding out more about the amazing work that they do in raising awareness and supporting victims.

We have plenty of information booklets to distribute if you would like to find out more about the cause that you will be supporting and the longstanding injustice of the Bhopal people at the hands of one of the world's richest corporations. 

The lack of media attention since the disaster means that this is a cause which has gone largely unnoticed, so this is your chance to donate and make a much needed impact to the lives of the survivors of the Bhopal disaster.
