On the 10th, according to Japanese media news, Japan's Noto Peninsula ** So far, some people in the earthquake area are still living a life of refuge. Some victims said that most of the relief supplies were garbage.
At an elementary school in Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture, people in the earthquake area are working hard to get along. The elementary school was used as a makeshift shelter for about 250 people affected by the disaster. They need to prepare more than 500 meals every morning and evening, but the chef in charge of cooking, Norio Kawamoto, finds that he has few ingredients that he can use to cook.
According to Kawamoto, these mountains of relief supplies were sent from all over the country by individuals and businesses. Although the number is huge, there is little really useful about it. The cartons were full of expired drinks and old clothes, some of which were even expired into 2019. These expired food and beverages are obviously inedible and can only be treated as garbage.
More than half of the relief supplies delivered by trucks are garbage. Kawamoto shouted angrily, "They put down the garbage and left." The drinks are all over**! He explained that while some food items have not expired, they must be frozen or microwaved before they can be eaten. However, there are no refrigerators and microwaves, so these items don't come in handy.
The biggest problem facing the affected people in this primary school is the lack of resources that can be used to tide over the crisis. What they need is practical supplies, not expired food and useless garbage. They need supplies that will help them rebuild their homes and get back to normal life, not piles of unusable relief supplies.
