It has been 11 days since the Great East Japan Earthquake and the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Memorial ceremonies are held in various parts of Fukushima prefecture to pray for the dead and reconstruction.

According to police, 1614 people have died in the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami, and landslides, and the whereabouts of 196 people are still unknown.



In addition, according to the prefecture, the number of so-called "earthquake-related deaths", in which people die due to poor physical condition due to prolonged evacuation life, has reached 2331 as of the 3rd and 7th.



Due to the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, evacuation orders issued to 11 municipalities in the prefecture have been lifted in 70% of the original areas, but 33,365 people are still evacuated inside and outside the prefecture. Continues.



The number of people living in areas where evacuation orders have been lifted is more than 15,000, which is only about 34% of the registered residents, and community development is an issue while the population is sluggish.



On the other hand, evacuation orders are still being issued in areas where it is difficult to return, such as Namie Town, Futaba Town, and Okuma Town, which span seven municipalities.



The government plans to lift evacuation orders for 8% of these areas by spring next year, aiming to lift some of them in spring in Okuma and Katsurao, and in June in Futaba. increase.



Last year, the remaining 92% of the areas where the outlook was uncertain was decontaminated according to the residents' intention to return, and the policy was announced that it would be lifted in the 2020s, but the local government has completely removed it. I'm looking for dyeing.



In addition, the number of "isolated deaths" that died in disaster public housing without being seen by anyone has risen to 19 in the last year, and the number of exchanges is decreasing due to the corona disaster, so the way of support is becoming an issue.
