Five years after the March 2011 quake-tsunami-nuclear disaster the Japanese Reconstruction Agency revealed that more than 3-thousand 4-hundred “survivors” have died. Not surprising, 56% of those deaths took place in the nuclear disaster reactor prefecture of Fukushima!
Other data proving the failure of Japan’s response to the 2011 disasters; by mid-February this year more than 174-thousand people are still in temporary housing. I should point out that back in 2011 government officials were expecting the ‘temporary’ housing to be used for no more than six months! Many administrators were not prepared for the radiation levels that, in some areas, are still preventing people from returning to their homes. Another 156,234 survivors are living in homes/apartments that are being rented by local governments. 18,237 survivors are living with relatives. All together about 349-thousand people are living as refugees in their own country!
43,139 survivors of the initial 2011 disaster from Fukushima are still living outside the prefecture, however, the ongoing nuclear disaster is blamed for an exodus of 115-thousand residents since then!
For more proof that living as a refugee, even in your own country, is worse than staying put NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) surveyed more than 5-hundred survivors: 42% said their standard of living has not improved. 37% said their situation is worse. 11% said they are struggling.
In a sign of some improvement, children in Fukushima are no longer fat? After fours years of gaining weight school aged children in the nuclear disaster are suddenly losing it. That’s according to the Ministry of Education. It’s assumed that reason why school kids got fat was because they were not allowed to play outside due to the radiation contamination. In the past year the ban on playing out side was lifted, and education administrators think that’s why the kids have suddenly lost weight. It must be pointed out that being fat in Japan does not mean you’re actually fat, it’s based on the government standard for being overweight. The government has somehow determined how much a person should weigh, and if you’re 20% or more over that limit you’re a fatty!
But don’t credit declining radiation contamination for the lifting of the outside play ban, the real reason is that the number of parents keeping their kids out of Fukushima schools has jumped; 1-thousand 785 children were kept out of school in 2015, that’s 2-hundred more than before the March 2011 disaster!
Confirmed: Population death spiral for Japan!
