Sono ancora almeno 80 i dispersi nello smottamento di fango che nel fine settimana ha travolto 130 abitazioni e palazzi nella cittadina giapponese di Atami. Sono morte tre persone. Proseguono le ricerche degli oltre 1.500 uomini delle Forze di Autodifesa.

Nelle ultime ore 23 persone sono state messe in salvo. Tra queste, una madre con un neonato, estratti dall’interno di un edificio, coperto dai detriti che si sono riversati lungo il versante della collina, per via delle piogge torrenziali. Le autorità hanno consigliato agli oltre 37mila residenti dell’area di abbandonare le loro abitazioni. L’ordine è tuttavia facoltativo. L’agenzia meteorologica nazionale prevede ulteriori precipitazioni che potrebbero causare nuovi smottamenti del territorio. (Foto: LaPresse)
