While Japan has significant capacity to manage emergencies, the magnitude of this disaster coupled with the threat of nuclear exposure has been large enough to warrant international assistance.International Medical Corps is providing logistical support and technical expertise to local health authorities based on more than 25 years of experience in disaster response, including following the 2004 Southeast Asian Tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.On March 11, 2011, an earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, churning up a devastating tsunami that swept over cities and farmland in the northern part of the country and set off warnings as far away the west coast of the United States and South America. Recorded as 9.0 on the Richter scale,Japanese officials turned to increasingly desperate measures, as traces of radiation were found in Tokyo's water and in water pouring from the reactors into the ocean.
As of March 29, the official death toll had been raised to more than 11,000, and more than 17,000 people are listed as missing, although there may be some overlap between the two groups. The final toll is expected to reach nearly 20,000. More than 190,000 people remained housed in temporary shelters.This day, her 4-year-old grandson found an unexpected treat: three containers of yogurt, a first since the waves struck.
"Mommy, can I eat yogurt, too?" he pleaded.
"If you eat it now, you might not have anything to eat tomorrow," his mother answered.
While hundreds of thousands of Japanese have sought help in well-stocked evacuation shelters, those stuck in their own homes fear they are at risk of falling through the cracks. Many have been left essentially marooned by the waves that knocked out roads, electricity and water.
