How many casualties have been caused by the continuous snowstorm in many places in Japan?

Recently, affected by the cold wave, many places around the world were affected by the disaster and the temperature plummeted. According to foreign media reports, there have been many blizzards in many places in Japan recently. It's really hard to see that the snow is more than one meter thick and has killed more than ten people.

In Japan, after a lapse of 35 years, due to the recent severe cold weather in some parts of Japan, the thickness of snow exceeded one meter for the first time, which is indeed somewhat exaggerated. This thickness of snow not only affected people's travel, but also caused more than ten deaths according to media reports, which also had a great impact on the local economy.

According to the reports of many Japanese media, we know that after nine days of heavy snow in Japan, the thickness of snow exceeded 1986 for the first time in the downtown area of Toyama, Japan after a lapse of 35 years.

We know the impact of bad weather on human beings, even if the medical conditions are good now, it is inevitably affected by nature. It is reported that some Japanese residents want to clean the snow in front of their houses and unfortunately fall to the ground and die; It has been reported before and after that 13 people in Akita Prefecture of Japan also died from this snowfall. Another male company employee was seriously injured in his hand while clearing the snow on the sidewalk with a snow remover, and was taken to the hospital.

Because many elderly people who live at home give feedback, there is no way to clear the snow on the roof by themselves. On June 8th, 65438+10/October 8th, the Japanese government sent a large number of self-defense team members to carry out snow removal work, with the focus on helping the families of the elderly so that they don't have to be nervous at home.

Moreover, the heavy snow weather in recent days has also had a significant impact on Japanese traffic. The West Japan Railway Company said that it may announce the cancellation of the operation of the Hokuriku Shinkansen after the evening of June 5438+1October 9. Due to the continuous snowfall these days, traffic jams have occurred on many national highways in Japan, including Toyama Prefecture.
