The fears of the Japanese authorities have been confirmed and the number of deaths now exceeds 10,000. The new figure offered this morning (Spanish time) by the National Police Agency has risen to 10,151 dead and 17,053 the number of missing data so the total number of victims could exceed 28,000 people.
Most deaths are concentrated in the three prefectures most affected by the earthquake and tsunami: Miyagi, Iwate and Fukushima, an area that is still subject to evolution in its nuclear power plant. According to official figures, there were 6,097 dead in Miyagi, in Iwate, and Fukushima 3092, 904.
The steady increase in the number of bodies recovered identification difficult tasks, so that the authorities of Miyagi, the prefecture most affected, have decided to publish information on their website about their dress, their features and the objects they carry with them to facilitate this work.
Once identified, they leave the morgue is also a problem because the lack of fuel makes it impossible to burn all the bodies, as is customary in Japan, so that local governments have decided to temporarily buried in mass graves. Two weeks after the earthquake, more than 240,000 people pack the 1,900 emergency shelters.
According to national police figures there are at least 18,000 homes destroyed and more than 130,000 buildings damaged, especially the coastal areas of northeastern Japan, where temperatures below zero are recorded these days makes the situation of the victims. Those who have returned home suffering from lack of supplies and have to beg for food in the shelters, though most supermarkets have reopened their doors.
