Japan continues to count the victims of the earthquake last week caused a devastating tsunami. With each new balance, the forecasts are confirmed and the number of victims. Offered the latest official figures estimate there are 6,911 dead, in a total of 12 prefectures, and about 10,300 missing. This reflects that of last Friday is the worst earthquake lived in Japan in 90 years, surpassing the deaths (6,400) of the 1995 Kobe earthquake.
Regarding the number of rescued, some 90,000 troops of the Self Defense Forces (who will join thousands of reservists called up) working under great difficulties and have rescued or evacuated more than 26,000, most of these recent near nuclear plants damaged by the quake, according to the local agency Kyodo.
However, authorities fear the death toll continues to rise and reach 10,000, and in recent times have found several bodies in parts of the northeast coast, and the numbers of missing and be rescued by multiplying over days. The high number of deaths has complicated the identification of bodies, so the police academies have begun to educate local stakeholders to address these tasks, while groups of volunteers have taken on the task of informing the families.
For its part, the immigration authorities have decided to send to local governments all available information, including fingerprints, of foreign residents in Japan to facilitate and expedite their identification. Meanwhile, some 530,000 people are crowded into makeshift camps, most of them in the prefectures of Miyagi (which is not localized to the models most citizens of a town of about 10,000), Iwate and Fukushima (northeast), the most affected by the earthquake.
Its leaders have advanced efforts to build 32,800 temporary housing. The continuous power outages resulting from problems in nuclear power plants, especially of Fukushima, aggravate the situation of thousands of people who are homeless in the middle of cold snap and snow. The stories of villages wiped off the map, towns from which there is no news, and fortunately in some cases, people returning to show signs of life when he was little hope of finding them still falling in a steady trickle.
For example, in Oshima, a small island off the coast of Miyagi province, were found alive yesterday about 1,300 people. In addition, between 7,000 and 8,000 residents in this population lost their homes and taken refuge in schools, but are cut off and whether they have sufficient reserves.
Miyagi's government has requested assistance from other prefectures to begin burning the corpses to prevent the spread of disease among survivors. On the contrary, from Friday, no one knows anything about about 7,500 residents of Sanriku Minami, half the population of this town of Miyagi swallowed by the sea, although police believe may have fled to nearby villages, as Tome.
A total of 2,000 residents of Sanriku Minami were found alive yesterday too, so there is hope on their neighbors. Neither knows the whereabouts of another 8,000 residents Otsuchi coastal town in the province of Iwate. The funeral homes are not enough to store the corpses, coffins and urgently need more workers complain that the constant power outages are not allowed to keep refrigerated human remains.
