The head of the International Federation of Red Cross visited Nishihara Village and so this article presents information about the situation there.
“Emergency shelters in Nishihara village are full of people who have nowhere else to go. A very high proportion of the displaced people are elderly, and Red Cross medical staff have to deal with many unexpected needs. It is very hot inside some shelters during the day, creating a high risk of heat stroke among the elderly people. Another serious problem is the lack of running water, which has resulted in a deteriorating hygiene situation in some facilities and a growing risk of infectious diseases.”
