Hospital, says removing the
children from the area is
crucial.
He explained, "There is a
time limit of between four
and five years when treating
children who have been ex-
posed to high levels of radia-
tion, and after that the
damages are irreversible."
Dr. Weshler, taking time
off from his regular job in
Jerusalem, said it was
urgent to begin examining
blood samples to determine
the extent of the damage.
Nevertheless, he decided
to let the children ac-
climatize before commenc-
ing the checkups.
"Even the smallest ones
know that they are sick, but
they don't understand the
extent of the danger," Dr.
Weshler said. "We have al-
ready uprooted them from
their families, and you have
to give them time to get used
to their new life."
Five-year-old Rita is here
with her 9-year-old brother
and an older cousin but rare-
ly gets to see them, because
at Kfar Chabad boys and
girls live in separated areas.
"My mommy told me I was
going away because of radia-
tion and not to be sick," the
little girl said through an
I- interpreter.
She said she knew that ra-
diation is "when people are
sick, and soon everyone will
be sick and everything there
will be dead and become a
desert."
The girls, dressed iden-
tically in long denim skirts
supplied by the Chabad
movement, all seem to
understand.
Five-year old Stella ex-
plained that "there was a
big accident at home and
that is why people are com-
ing here."
The current group of 196 is
the first that Chabad plans
to bring from the Soviet
Union.
By unofficial estimate, the
group, ranging from 5 to 15
years old, is the first of 3,000
Jewish children from the
Chernobyl area whom the
movement plans to bring to
Israel.
According to a Chabad
report, the "Children of
Chernobyl" program costs
approximately $16,500 an-
nually per year. This does
not include capital outlay to
set up a dental clinic, outpa-
tient clinic or medical ex-
aminations by specialists.
The program hopes to
reunite parents with their
children as soon as possible,
but because the children are
more susceptible to radia-
tion, they are being brought
out first.
