Shafaqna English- Just days before the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, New York City has released a document that shows victims were ‘lied to’ about health impacts from the attacks.
At a news conference on Tuesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the publication of 170,000 pages concerning health issues following the collapse of two skyscrapers in the World Trade Center complex, known as the Twin Towers.
Mamdani said the effort would deliver “accountability around city government’s response to September 11 that New Yorkers have been denied for years”.
His remarks reinforced long-running suspicions that leaders in the United States prematurely allowed workers and residents back into the area around Lower Manhattan where the towers fell.
