Some Victims in Fukushima
About 1500 people died due to big tsunamis that hit coast lines of Fukushima Prefecture on March 11, 2011.
Though the total number of victims of the 3/11 Tsunami of Japan was 20,000, Fukushima Prefecture accounts for 7% of all the tsunami victims.
But there is a big difference in situations between Fukushima and other prefectures hit by the tsunamis: radioactive contamination from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant which was crippled due to the M9.0 earthquake and subsequent huge tsunami.
Rescue teams and the police started their operation to save people and retrieve dead bodies in other areas as soon as possible after March 11. But, such activities were impossible around the Fukushuima Daiichi plant due to higher doses. So, even today, some towns and villages around the plant are still left as they were on March 11, 2011. Broken houses and buildings still stand without removal. Cars overturned still lie on fields and any places without removal. Commodities and assets people were using on the day are still littered anywhere. And some dead bodies are still missing.
What is worse, recently it was confirmed that some old people died of hunger after the tsunami. They were left in their broken houses. But their neighbors were drawn or evacuated without taking care of them. And once their residential districts were included in radioactive dangerous zones soon after March 11, nobody came to check their houses. They were left alone, each. Old people who could not walk for physical weakness or injury were forced to stay in their houses even the police could not have access to due to radioactive doses. Then, some of them died of hunger, though initially they were judged by authority to have died of a tsunami when finally the police entered the restricted zones for search with heavy protective measures taken against radiation. But, as more detailed reviews have been conducted recently, it has been understood that some of those old people survived for some days after the tsunami but died of hunger and coldness in an environment with no electricity and no information.
So, we cannot simply say that there are no radioactive victims around Fukushima Daiichi. There are surely some: very unlucky old persons.

Mar 3:4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
Mar 3:5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
