Although the death toll continues to grow, there is still room for the miracle. Japanese police have confirmed to the NHK television channel Sunday that it has found two survivors who have spent nine days in the rubble in Ishinomaki, a city of Miyagi Prefecture. They are a lady of 80 years and a 16 that, according to police.
Both are aware, though very weak. A doctor at the hospital who were transferred has told NHK that the two survivors who are grandmother and grandson were trapped in the kitchen of his home, and have managed to survive thanks to the yogurt they had in the fridge at home. The grandson managed to climb onto the roof of the house and managed to get it checked by a helicopter flying over the area looking for survivors.
Young, confirmed the doctor, had a very low body temperature, was shaking and did not feel his left ankle. Despite this, Japan continues to count the victims of the earthquake on June 11 caused a devastating tsunami. The latest official figures estimate there are 8,450 dead and 12,931 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.
Nine days after the earthquake of 9 degrees on the northeast coast of Japan, which caused the worst natural disaster after World War II, the hopes of finding survivors are slim. Officials 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 with each passing day .
However, according to Kyodo news agency, citing police sources, could be more than 15,000 casualties only count on the Miyagi Prefecture, where 5,053 have been confirmed dead. 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. Assistance efforts focus on seeking shelter to survivors who have lost their homes, including about 360,000 evacuees, most of which remain at 2,200 shelters licensed by the authorities.
Among them are the 200,000 evacuees around the nuclear plant in Fukushima, where technicians and military struggle to lower the temperature of the reactor to prevent further radiation leaks. The continuous power outages resulting from problems in nuclear plants damaged by the tremor, especially of Fukushima, aggravate the situation of thousands of people who are homeless in the middle of cold snap and snow.
Thirteen countries have sent 110,000 blankets for survivors, while at least 30,000 have been counted bags of rice, 230,000 bottles of water and 500 electricity generators, according to the local agency Kyodo. In the province of Iwate, one of the most affected with Miyagi and Fukushima, have already begun installing the first prefabricated houses a total of 8,800 projected by the authorities to relocate the homeless.
