Japan continues to count the victims of the earthquake on June 11 caused a devastating tsunami. With each new balance the number of victims is closer to the 10,000 estimated by the Japan Government. The latest official figures estimate there are 7,348 dead and 10,947 missing, confirming that we talk about living in Japan's worst earthquake in 90 years, beating the victims (6,400) of the 1995 Kobe earthquake.
Japan is thirsty for good news is confirmed by the fervor with which he embraced yesterday for a few minutes the story of a young man about 20 years rescued Kesennuma (Miyagi Prefecture), one of the towns hardest hit by the quake. After the government declared that it had practically given up looking for more survivors, rescue services found the man in the rubble of what was his house, wrapped in a blanket and exhausted.
In shock, speechless, he was taken to the hospital, where they discovered that it was actually a victim and rescued a few days earlier and was traumatized. Some 90,000 troops of the Self Defense Forces (who will join thousands of reservists called up) working under great difficulties and have been rescued or evacuated more than 26,000, most of the latter near the damaged nuclear 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 morgues of the 12 prefectures affected 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.
Miyagi's government has requested assistance from other prefectures to begin burning the corpses to prevent the spread of disease among survivors. With the economy also in intensive care, the government plans to spend 10 trillion yen (89,500 million euros) in loans to businesses hit by the earthquake and tsunami of March 11 to help fund daily operations, as reported by the Japan Rotary> i> Nikkei.
