Honolulu Civil Beat | Red Hill federal trial: What to expect - Hawaii News Now Sunrise @civilbeat | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Monday, April 29 will mark the beginning of a trial that seeks to hold the military accountable for contaminating the water 93,000 people in the Red Hill area relied on for drinking, bathing and doing laundry, as Civil Beat reporter Christina Jedra told Hawaii News Now Sunrise.
More than 7,500 claimants have joined in the case and faulted the Navy for tainting the water with jet fuel. They say they’ve endured medical issues, lost income and experienced emotional distress.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice has argued that these problems could have been spurred by other causes and questioned whether they were exposed to jet fuel at all, or at least long enough to cause these maladies.
