He said that any number of U.N. agencies, such as the Food and Agricul– ture Organization (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), U.N.

Dr. Yuriy Shcherbak, a medical doctor who is also a member of the Soviet Parliament, said that unlike other tragedies throughout history where the memory lingers but the hurt fades, "the catastrophe of Chornobyl becomes more acute, people become more and more concerned" as time passes.
