“We are in despair” – Someone finally dies at the evacuation centre， residents are only given one lunch a day， and the mayor blocks direct appeals from residents．．． Approximately seven months after the Noto Peninsula earthquake， local residents reveal administrative negligence．
※8/3 (Sat) 17:35 smartflash “Some elderly people have died from economy class syndrome. No matter how much we complain, our voices are not heard, and are simply silenced.” [Image] A simple lunch box distributed with only one meal per day. I don’t think it will last a day… On May 31, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida decided to provide 52 billion yen in financial assistance to Ishikawa Prefecture through the “Reconstruction Fund.” Furthermore, half of the approximately 4 billion yen in revenue from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake Disaster Area Support Lottery will be allocated to the prefecture’s budget, demonstrating the prefecture’s efforts to ensure a speedy recovery.” (Political Affairs Reporter) It has been about eight months since the disaster. Our magazine’s investigations revealed that the current situation is far from a “quick recovery.” A man in his 40s who was affected by the disaster in Suzu City, one of the hardest hit areas on the Noto Peninsula, spoke of the current situation with his shoulders slumped. “In Suzu City, the majority of people who are at home still do not have running water. Some homes don’t even have electricity. My home is also not accessible to either of these, so on days when it is too hot to stay at home or when I volunteer at a soup kitchen, I sometimes have to stay in an evacuation centre. In the evacuation shelter, there are makeshift beds made from cardboard in a space partitioned off by cardboard boxes, but the pillows feel so soft that they feel almost softer than a tatami mat. Even after just a few days, it’s so hard that it makes me want to cry.” The victims have long since reached their limit, having spent more than six months in such harsh conditions. Eventually, some even lost their lives. Let’s continue from the beginning. Continue reading below.
Of course the elderly will die even if they live a normal life. There is a weak causal relationship with evacuation shelters. It’s economy class syndrome, so whoever says it first wins.
In the event of a disaster, the first priority is self-help.
You should always find out in advance how you can receive help in the event of a disaster where you live, and if it is dangerous for your life and property, it is your own responsibility to relocate.
Immediately after the earthquake, the number of evacuees in the first evacuation shelter was 30,000, but now there are only 600. 29,400 people have escaped and are living more or less better lives, so it’s a mystery why the 600 people are still in the first evacuation shelter.
>>33 This is what would happen if a disaster occurred on the Notsuke Peninsula or around Shiroji-Motoyama in Shikoku. This earthquake made it clear why these truly remote areas were left as they were.
They should sort out their assets and find another place or get welfare. If we help them too much, it will turn out like the Great East Japan Earthquake.
If even with that much budget it is not reaching the victims, then it’s just middlemen skimming because the LDP has been accused of tax evasion and has no money.
