Quake Survivors Stress 3
Stress Taking Toll on Japan's Quake Survivors
"Doctors say the death toll from Japan's string of earthquakes is rising partly because some of the elderly cannot handle the stress of living in shelters. As of Tuesday 31 people have died and more than 3,400 have been treated in hospitals.
More than 100,000 survivors, many complaining of exhaustion and cold, are spending another night in makeshift shelters, their cars or outdoors on the Sea of Japan Coast. Temperatures are dropping within a few degrees of freezing and it has been drizzling."
