This year will mark the 30th anniversary of the 1984 catastrophic gas leak in Bhopal, India – but still no one has been held to account.
It is estimated that between 7,000-10,000 people died within three days of the leak, and more than 570,000 people were exposed to damaging levels of toxic gas.
The disaster continues: the surrounding communities scrape a living each day, battling ill health and ongoing pollution; tens of thousands of people still suffer from serious health problems including children born to gas-affected parents.
