One cannot even begin to imagine, let alone describe, what transpired in Hiroshima on the morning of 6 August 1945 as an atomic bomb nicknamed \u201cLittle Boy\u201d was dropped on the city. The Hibakusha, or survivors, were the ones left straggling among the remains of their city and its dead, with unimaginable scars and untreatable diseases. But the real horror began when it became clear that no amount of help would be able to undo the devastation caused by the bomb for decades to come.\u00a0This Hiroshima Day serves as the 78th reminder of the destructive power of atomic weapons and the legacy of human suffering, environmental damage, and moral dilemmas it leaves behind.

About 80,000 people, or 27% of the total population, died immediately or soon after the blast. Many more died later from radiation exposure<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The bomb\u2019s blast, heat, and radiation destroyed most of the city\u2019s buildings and infrastructure and caused fires that lasted for days<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The survivors, or hibakusha in Japanese, endured severe burns, wounds, radiation sickness, cancers, and other diseases. They also faced social stigma, discrimination, and psychological trauma<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The oleander is the official flower of Hiroshima because it was the first plant to blossom again after the atomic bomb blast in 1945<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Flame of Peace in Hiroshima has been burning since 1964 to honour the victims and will only be put out when all nuclear weapons are eliminated from the world and there is no nuclear threat to the Earth<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For decades, the mayor of Hiroshima sent letters of protest every time a nuclear test was carried out, as a plea to stop using nuclear weapons<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The atomic bombing of Hiroshima raised ethical questions about the use of nuclear weapons and their impact on humanity and nature. Some argue that the bombing was necessary to end the war quickly and save lives on both sides. Others contend that the bombing was immoral, unjustified, and violated international law and human rights. The debate continues to this day, as does the threat of nuclear war<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-electric-grass-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Must Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=781526&amp;action=edit\">National Handloom Day<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hiroshima-day-activities-and-events\">Hiroshima Day: Activities and Events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a day of remembrance, reflection, and action for peace and disarmament, Hiroshima Day is observed in Hiroshima and around the world with various events and activities, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ceremonies at the peace memorials, where the names of the deceased are read aloud and paper lanterns are floated on the rivers.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A minute of silence at 8:15 a.m., the exact time when the bomb exploded over Hiroshima.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peace marches, rallies, vigils, concerts, exhibitions, lectures, and workshops to raise awareness and educate people about the dangers of nuclear weapons and the need for their abolition.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Messages and speeches from political leaders, religious figures, civil society organizations, and survivors of the bombings, known as hibakusha in Japanese.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prayers and expressions of sympathy and support for the hibakusha and their families.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hiroshima Nagasaki day drawing \/Hiroshima Nagasaki day poster \/ Hiroshima day poster drawing\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PrWDzIT6uBM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: RK easy drawings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hiroshima-day-quotes\">Hiroshima Day Quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The devastation of Hiroshima provoked outrage from every corner of the world, including some well-known personalities of that time.

Having seen and felt the impact of the mass destruction caused first-hand, success came in 2017 in the form of the \u201cTreaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons\u201d.
