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.

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.
