video Japan appeal -A message from the residents of Fukushima

H-JAPAN (E) July 17, 2011

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zYjYtVrOro&feature=youtu.be  Here is a short YouTube appeal for help from a few of the residents about
 the safety of their children, with English subtitles. They are not panicking or sentimental, but they are afraid. (Also, see the related videos on the same page.)
 
Through the summer heat, while some pundits debate the relative severity of  the disaster and the politicos are still trying to make a plan, the residents of Fukushima are living with the threat of radiation that they do  not understand any better than the rest of us. And like a whole line of other residents, from Mayor Sakurai of Minami-Souma in the weeks after 3.11  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a78lgT6qavY), they are frustrated at the  lack of governmental support.
