Yoshida River embankment break nearby facilities for disabled children are not available Miyagi Ogo-cho Oct. 15 20:51
Near the site of Ogo-cho, Miyagi Prefecture, where the Yoshida River embankment broke down, a large amount of water and earth and sand flow into facilities used by children with disabilities, making it impossible to use because the walls are broken.
“Merkumaru Yodogawa Mirai” is located in Ogo-cho Yodogawa, a closed elementary school building where children with disabilities can play and study after school and on holidays.
The facility is in the immediate vicinity of the place where the Yoshida River broke down.
As you enter the building, you can see the strength of the flooded water flow, as many doors and windows have broken glass and some walls have collapsed.
On the 15th, the staff operating the facility was busy working to scavenge mud and bring broken boxes and doors out of the building.
The facility was used by about 60 children, says Koji Kodama, the representative of the facility. “We are worried about the future because the only facility in the town that accepts children with disabilities will be unavailable. I would like to resume as soon as possible even in a temporary place. "
