The full extent of the Chernobyl disaster has not yet been realised and “the worse is yet to come” if the war in Ukraine escalates further, an Irish humanitarian has warned.

As Friday marks the 38th anniversary of the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 1986, activist and founder of the Chernobyl Children International charity, Adi Roche, continues the mission in Ukraine despite the heightened nuclear threat due to Russian forces occupying the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
