'It can't be real!': Japan atomic bomb survivors group wins Nobel Peace Prize

Nihon Hidankyo co-chair Toshiyuki Mimaki pinched his face in shock when it was announced that the Japanese atomic bomb survivors' group won this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

A visibly emotional Mimaki said the group would continue to support its efforts to demonstrate that the abolition of nuclear weapons was possible.

"I thought for sure it would be the people working so hard in Gaza as we've seen," he added.

Next year will mark the 80th anniversary of the dropping of nuclear bombs by the United States on Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945.

Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Peace Prize out of his regret and guilt of being the inventor of dynamite. If anyone deserves to get that prize, it is an association of survivors of the most destructive weapons ever used in war.
