Till now 110 people found dead and according to CNN, 200 to 300 bodies has just found in Sendai, Japan. Whereas, The official Kyodo news agency is reporting that about 88,000 people are missing.

Till date, it is believed that all Nepalese are safe in Japan. In Facebook, one Friend from Japan Dinesh Raj Gyawali wrote, “Phone is dead, So I’m not 100% sure but till now I’ve not heard any bad news”. He further wrote, “Now Another earthquake of 3.0 rector scale".
Gyawali just informed us, “चुनामी र भुँइचालो को सबैभन्दा प्रभावित क्षेत्र मियागि जिल्लाको को सेन्दाइ मा नेपालीहरु पनि अन्य जापानीहरु सँगै सुरक्षित शिबिरमा रहेको खबर प्राप्त”

Meanwhile UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expresses his condolences to the Japanese people and government. He says the UN will do anything to assist Japan and Japanese People.
After, Tsunami Google has also reacted quickly and launched apps called “Person Finder : 2011 Japan Earthquake” which helps you find a person or provide information on missing persons. Google’s Crisis Center shows a map of the earthquake, the latest related news and lists links to warning centers, disaster bulletin boards, and train and blackout information.Google’s Crisis Center’s person finder tool currently tracks about 6,300 records, but the number is rising quickly.

ReplyDeleteI felt so sorry when I read the title of this news.How can one be so selfish?What you mean by "Nepali are safe"?I certainly have attachment with Nepali friends in Japan but I felt so sorry for the title of this blog.Nationality is there but it should not be linked in such natural calamities.I felt broken for all who suffered no matter what nationality they are.
