NEW YORK (AP) -- Latino activists say a new city Web site devoted to informing the public about World Trade Center-related health problems is limited to one group -- English speakers.
Celia Correa of the Beyond Ground Zero coalition questions where Spanish speakers who are not bilingual in English are supposed to go for help.
And Belgica Benavides of the National Mobilization Against SweatShops says that a large number of former workers at ground zero who receive help at Bellevue hospital are Latinos who speak only Spanish.
She says that a lot of information at Bellevue is translated into Spanish.
Mayor Bloomberg announced the site Sunday on his weekly radio program.
It's at www.nyc.gov/9-11Health.info.
