Japan’s Fire and Disaster Management Agency reported on Tuesday that continuous heavy snowfall over nearly three weeks has killed 46 people and injured at least 558 across the country. The prolonged snow began in late January, blanketing vast areas of northern Japan and severely affecting daily life.
According to the report, coastal regions facing the Sea of Japan have experienced severe traffic congestion and widespread disruption to transportation and communication networks. AFP noted that the situation is most critical in Aomori Prefecture and other northern areas. Police and local officials said most fatalities occurred when heavy snow collapsed from rooftops or when people slipped while clearing snow.
The Japan Meteorological Agency stated that snow accumulation in Aomori has reached about 1.3 meters, or more than four feet. Authorities have issued warnings that weather conditions could worsen further in the coming days.
