One month after the devastating tsunami occurred in Japan, a number of lucky people are already moving into temporary houses. Around 36 boxy, gray houses line a parking lot in a port city wrecked by the March 11 wave. After drawing lots, those lucky families who were chosen moved this weekend. Although each unit is roughly 30 square meters, it is already sure enough because each house is complete with television, washing machine, refrigerators and other necessary comfort needs.

The burden of those victims adds more especially those who consider fishing as their source of livelihood because their boats were carried away by huge waves. Moreover, radiation coming from the nuclear plants had contaminated seafood.

During a three-day search last week, troops have only found 70 bodies, underscoring difficulties of locating victims in the ocean and debris along the coast. According to them, only 13,000 bodies have been found and the rest who are still missing are most likely washed away and will never be found.

On Sunday, the Prime Minister Naoto Kan visited Ishinomaki and promised that the government will still do its utmost to help the victims.
