"Japan** claimed hundreds of lives, and 14% froze to death"！
After a big ** in the southern island nation of Japan, statistics from some time ago indicate that the number of people who died in this ** has already reached 222. According to an analysis by the National Police, 14% of these people died of frostbite and hypothermia.
Japan** said that the vast majority of people were buried under the collapsed buildings, and 32 people died in the extremely cold climate. This is also the first time we know that many innocent people will be killed in rescue operations that have been delayed after the earthquake because roads have been blocked.
According to Japan, the deteriorating road conditions in the rescue operation have been delayed, making it impossible to rescue the victims in time. Medical expert Dr. Takatsuka cared for the victims and performed autopsies on their remains. In Wajima City, he dissected the bodies of 22 victims and found that nine of them died of hypothermia, that is, a body temperature below 35. Many people were visibly crushed under the collapsed houses.
Low temperature is a very dangerous disease, such as hiking in winter or having an accident in the water. Typically, hypothermia occurs when the outside temperature drops below 10 or lower. On the night of January 1, the temperature in the affected areas of Ishikawa Prefecture dropped below zero.
Dr. Takatsuka said that death from hypothermia is much longer than death from other causes such as suffocation and drowning, so it is crucial to conduct a search and rescue within 72 hours of the disaster, after which the survival rate is greatly reduced.
However, deteriorating road conditions make it difficult for police and fire trucks to reach the Danang Peninsula. Even if emergency vehicles were able to arrive in time, it would be difficult to carry out effective rescue efforts because many of the buildings had collapsed. However, Dr. Takatsuka suggested that the authorities should continue to investigate issues such as rescue operations and ease of transportation.
In addition, Ishikawa County officials only released information on the collapse of houses, mudslides, etc., but did not disclose the exact cause of the personnel.
According to the statistics of Sakajin Dai** in 1995, 54% of people drowned and 12% were buried alive. This figure led Japan to revise the seismic standards for houses.
The damage caused by the large ** of the South Island Peninsula is enormous, and it is also a reminder to improve disaster relief and disaster response capabilities. According to a report by Japan, the authorities and relevant authorities should learn from the experience of this time, improve their ability to provide early warning and emergency disaster relief, and ensure that people's lives and property are protected. Only in this way, in the event of a similar accident, can we reduce the number of personnel as much as possible and ensure that people's lives and property are guaranteed to the greatest extent.
