A New York City mayor has accused authorities of deceiving victims regarding the long-term health consequences linked to past attacks, following the release of previously undisclosed documents. The revelations suggest a deliberate effort to downplay risks faced by those affected, raising serious questions about transparency and accountability. Critics argue the disclosures could force a reckoning over how survivors were treated in the aftermath. The controversy underscores ongoing debates over government handling of public health crises and compensation for impacted individuals.
The New York City mayor said the document release shows victims were ‘lied to’ about health impacts from the attacks.
