8. 1.6 million people in Japan right now have no water.

4,314 confirmed dead. 8,606 people remained unaccounted for, and close to 2,500 wounded last I saw. There's not adequate water, provisions nor shelter for an unnamed amount of people in Japan at this moment. Also, they're dealing with freezing cold on top of it all.

These people are also dealing with the fear or being exposed to radiation. The shelters are too full and they're saying there's long waits to be screened for exposure. They have every right to be angry and scared. My heart goes out to them.
