Rainfall in Japan reaches 100

Yoshihidi Suga, spokesman for the government, said at a press conference that "87 of the 100 victims have declared their deaths, 13 in case heart failure and the respiratory system, this which means that their death notification has not been published yet. "

Rescue teams are looking to find 12 people who are still missing today, in completely flooded and destroyed neighborhoods of many houses. In the city of Kumano, massive landslides swept away houses with only stacks of wood.

"We remove debris with heavy equipment, where we can do it," said Askari. We also remove the rubble from the destroyed houses, otherwise we will not be able to reach the survivors who could be stuck under the roof.

This is one of the most serious disasters of recent years in Japan and the number of casualties exceeded the current landslide in Hiroshima in 2014. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has canceled Wednesday a tour abroad that was to begin Wednesday, including Belgium, France, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, after heavy rains, according to sources.

Kyodo News Agency quoted the Secretary General of Democratic Free Democratic Party Toshihiro Nikai told reporters after the meeting with Abyei said that the cancellation of the tour was "inevitable" in the light of the disaster.

Heavy rains in parts of western Japan, more than three times normal in July, caused landslides, in their homes or on rooftops.

An official from the Japan Meteorological Agency said at a press conference: "We have never seen this kind of rain before.This is a very dangerous situation. "

Some automakers, including Mazda and Daihatsu, suspended operations in several factories yesterday due to disruptions in supplies and unsafe working conditions.

Although the Japanese government is closely monitoring the weather and issuing warnings at an early stage, the mountainous nature of the country outside major cities and the construction of buildings in any usable place make them vulnerable to disasters. .
