**Stockholm, Sweden** – The Nobel Peace Prize for 2024 has been awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese non-governmental organization (NGO) composed of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Known as Hibakusha, the survivors of the atomic bombings have dedicated themselves to raising awareness about the devastating consequences of nuclear weapons and advocating for their complete elimination.
