Situation Report on the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami from March to July of 2011

Japan is reeling under the effects of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, with reports of a rising death toll and property damage still coming in.

Reaching the affected areas on the ground is extremely difficult as of now, and the national emergency response agencies are mounting a massive search and rescue operation. Most international aid agencies have so far not decided to engage in this disaster, as Japan is a developed country. The scale of the emergency, however, is beyond the capacity of any institutional system, and thousands of families are in desperate need of support.

SEEDS Asia, with its head office in kobe, has set out to support the affected families in their recovery process.
