22 years later, some 9/11 victims are battling illnesses caused by that day

After more than two decades, thousands of 9/11 survivors are either sick or have succumbed to illnesses linked to the debris and carcinogens from the Twin Towers' collapse.

"There's not a day that goes by that I'm not talking to a 9/11 family that has a loved one who's actually in the midst of dying," he said. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate. 

Respiratory problems like asthma and chronic bronchitis, various cancers, gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions and musculoskeletal problems are the most prevalent health issues reported among responders and survivors.

Rosasco has been helping 9/11 victims since that fateful day get assistance through the Victims Compensation Fund — a government program created to compensate victims who suffered physical harm or families of those who lost their lives as a result of the attacks or the cleanup efforts that followed.
