Description
The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre, was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the IranβIraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan.
A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents.
The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians.
Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward.
