Sociedad

Según AP News, el número de muertos por el terremoto de magnitud 7,1 que sacudió Kumamoto el 28 de julio ascendió a 34 el 31 de julio, mientras los supervivientes enfrentaban escasez de agua y calor extremo y los equipos de rescate continuaban las búsquedas. La Agencia Meteorológica de Japón emitió una breve alerta de tsunami para la bahía de Ariake y el Ministerio de Defensa suspendió los servicios de tren y cerró la pista del aeropuerto de Aso Kumamoto. NBC News informó al menos 50 heridos y el colapso de un centro comercial y viviendas, mientras CBS señaló cinco fallecimientos y trabajadores atrapados en la chimenea de una fábrica de papel. NPR indicó que al menos 18 personas murieron y decenas resultaron heridas, lo que llevó a soldados, bomberos y voluntarios a buscar sobrevivientes en edificios dañados.

La BBC añadió que se registraron más de 100 réplicas, con una cifra de muertos de al menos 13 en ese momento. AP actualizó posteriormente la cifra a 23, señalando cortes generalizados de energía y miles de personas refugiadas en centros de evacuación. Tanto The New York Times como Japan Times confirmaron que la mortalidad subió a 34, mientras continuaban los esfuerzos de rescate.
