Aftereffects of Radiation
The Tokyo Shimbun Newspaper reported that a British scientist claimed that more people died from radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki than the US estimated in a specialist conference held in London in December 1945.
The US tried to persuade that most of Japanese victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been killed by heat and a bomb blast when a nuclear bomb was dropped from a B29 bomber each on the two cities in August 1945.
The effect of radioactive rays discharged from the atomic bombs was neglected in official reports released by the US military. They tried to conceal the dehumanizing and inhuman nature of the new type of bombs.
When the atomic bomb blew up in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, there were 350,000 people in the major city in western Japan. By the end of 1945, Hiroshima lost 140,000 people due to the effect of the atomic bomb. Nagasaki with 240,000 population on August 9, 1945 lost 74,000 citizens in the same condition.
There were many victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki who died days, weeks, months, and years after the nuclear bomb attacks due to aftereffects of radiation.

Act 8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
Act 8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
Act 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
