NHKニュースより

Damage is everywhere: roads, homes, cars, and facilities.

  • Cannot bathe as much as people would like due to water cutoff
  • Cannot live with pets in shelters
  • The snow melting equipment is broken, so all snow is removed by hand
  • There has been a string of thefts and burglaries.
  • Infectious diseases are spreading in the evacuation centers…etc.

In the face of these difficulties, hotels, lodging facilities, and municipal housing in and outside of Ishikawa Prefecture are accepting evacuees as secondary evacuation centers as part of reconstruction assistance. In addition, public bathhouses, supermarkets, post offices, and other services essential to daily life in the affected areas have gradually resumed their activities. And people seem to be working toward reconstruction by supporting and encouraging each other, saying "for the sake of the local people."

We pray for a speedy recovery.
