8281

この数字は、警視庁がまとめた東日本大震災による6月4日付の行方不明者数。
1995年の阪神淡路大震災の死者数6437名をゆうに超えている。
そしてその8281の命を探して家族や友人が毎日毎日遺体安置所に通い、
津波で流された自宅や学校や会社の跡地に向かい
DNA検査をして何らかの手がかりを求め続けている。
そして彼らは、命を助けられなかったからといって自分たちを責め続けている。
5歳の息子が行方不明の母親は、自分だけが生き続けて良いものかと苦しみ続けて、
3月11日以降カレンダーをめくれないでいると涙ながらに話す。

98,916。 この数字は6月4日現在の避難所で暮らす人の数。

30%。 この数字は宮城県のとある市で仮設住宅の入居権を得たものの、
実際に住んでいる人の比率。
7割もの人が当選しても入居せずに避難所に居続ける理由の一つは
収入がなくても仮設住宅に入居すると食糧支援が打ち切られるから。

来週は大震災から90日が経つ。
この間、相当数の日本国民が強く認識したのは
この国の政治家が偽物だということ。
震災をたかり自己防衛と権力の椅子取りゲームに明け暮れ
復興委員を務めるある議員はセックススキャンダル。

地方自治や民間企業やボランティアが復興に向けて必死に頑張っていて、
そして何よりこの数字の被災者が歯を食いしばって何とか生きているというのに。

8281.
This number is missing people as of June 4th reported by the police department.
It has been increasing more than 6437 which was the death number of the Kobe earthquake in 1995.
Ane, people has been searching for 8,281 people who are their family and friends.
They keep visiting to morgues everyday, they keep visiting to lands where used to be their houses, schools, kindergardens and offices to find out any information.
They applied DNA tests to find out their missing family.
And, they keep beating themselves up that they could not help family.
One mother, her 5-year-old son is missing, she is crying that she can not update the calendar since March 11th because she has been struggling with living without her baby boy.

98916.
This number is people who still live at evacuation centers.

30%
This is the number of residents in temporary housing in one city of Miyagi pref hit by tsunami and quake.
Rest of 70% residents have not lived there yet even they have the right to live there.
One of reasons is that they can't take food help outside the shelter even they have no way to gain money to live.

Almost 90 days have been passing since the day of 3.11.
What the people of Japanese strongly recognized during 90 days is politicians of this country are fake.

They use "the disaster" as an excuse and a tool for everything but what they are really doing is self-protection and power game.
And one politician who is a member of the reconstruction committee is in his sex scandal now.

Do politicians recognize local governments in disaster areas, public companies, volunteers, and above all, these numbers of victims of the disaster are glitting their teeth to live tomorrow, to get through this tremendous tough situation?
