The G7 leaders meeting in Hiroshima also had the chance to speak with Ogura Keiko. She is an atomic bomb survivor, known as Hibakusha.
Ogura was 8 years old when she was exposed to the nuclear explosion. She says she talked with the leaders about its horrible effects, and how many of its victims spent days or years with no visible injuries before dying from its radiation. Ogura says what happened in her city must never be repeated.
