Today, April 26th, marks the 26th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.

This CNN video shows why it is crucial for CCOC to evacuate as many children as possible from the Chernobyl region today, 26 years after the disaster.

It is with tremendous joy and heartfelt gratitude to Hashem that we announce the arrival of Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl’s (CCOC) 97th Rescue Flight on Thursday, April 19, 2012.

Flight 97 just touched down on the tarmac at Ben-Gurion Airport, bringing 26 children to safety in Israel. It is significant that these 26 children arrived just days before the 26th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, which remains the worst nuclear accident in history.

From Chernobyl to Chocolate

1986 (2)

 Felix, Simon (age 9), and Ada Swerdlow at their home in Mozyr, Belarus  in February 1986, just two months before the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

Simon Swerdlow, 13, was about to board a plane for the first time in his life.  He thought that this trip, like the summer vacations he had taken with his parents and his brother Igor, would be an adventure.  “I was excited,” he said, “but also nervous because this would be my first time traveling alone.  And I had no return ticket.  That was scary.”

The year was 1990, and 250 children were boarding the first international evacuation flight taking children out of the radioactive zones around Chernobyl, four years after the nuclear disaster occurred.

Read more about Simon's story here.
