Hear the voice from those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that hit the country on March 11, 2011. These are translations of texts mostly from twitter--I do this simply because I want to let people around the world know about what those affected are going through now, what they need, what they are saying. I want the audience to think what they could do to help in any way possible.

Media coverage should respect the humanitarian aspects
Media helicopters, you too should deliver relief supplies to the refugees when you fly over to the isolated areas. Have you ever imagined how hopeless the refugees sending a distress signal on the rooftop of the abandoned buildings feel only to find the media helicopters buzz overhead with no help given to them? And there are many affected areas which have not been shown on TV. The media coverage which only passes on the information to TV viewers would not do them much good during the height of the crisis. We want you to respect the humanitarian aspects.
