【#纪录片山河破碎20载#贫铀弹的伤害】贫铀是一种具有化学毒性和放射性毒性的重金属，被国际癌症研究机构认为是I类致癌物。2003年伊拉克战争时期，美军投下大量的贫铀弹用以摧毁伊拉克武装力量，这些被摧毁的装甲残骸时至今日都具有放射性，影响着当地人的生活。布什拉是一位有4个孩子的母亲，她的前两个孩子已经出现症状，为了给这两个孩子治病她花光了所有积蓄，直到有一天她的医生告诉她不要来治疗了，不要再“浪费钱了”。她说最痛苦的是一次次把希望浇灭，最折磨的是自己的孩子无法表达病痛，每天一步步看着他逝去。#伊战20年#AmotherfromBasrainsouthernIraq,speakingofhersickchildren,says:"One'slikethis.Another'sthesame.I'matmywits'end."DepleteduraniumisclassifiedbytheInternationalAgencyforResearchonCancerasaGroupIcarcinogen.Duringthe2003IraqWar,theU.S.militaryusedlargeamountsofdepleteduraniummunitionsagainstIraqiarmoredvehicles.Today,theradioactivewreckageisbelievedtobethecauseofseverehealthproblemsamongthelocalpopulation.Bushraisamotheroffour.Hereldestsondiedattheageof7,andoneofherdaughterssuffersfromcongenitalbraindamage;BushrabelievesthatbothwerethevictimsofDUpoisoning.Bushrausedallhersavingstogettreatmentforherchildren.Eventually,adoctortoldheritwasawasteofmoney.Shesaysshehaslearnedthatnothingismorepainfulthanlosinghope.Shedespairsatthesightofherchildrensuffering,knowingshecan'tdoanythingtohelp.
