Reuters provides an in-depth look at the impact of the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami ten years later
While Japan was silent to remember the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that killed more than twenty thousand people and devastated coastal areas, Reuters journalists around the world provided an in-depth look at the disastrous impact some are still feeling a decade later.

In a touching special report that, ten years later, the grief has never subsided for some tsunami survivors in Japan, Reuters journalists explored the scale of the losses suffered by many of those still in the coastal cities that were struck by the killer. “When the tide finally subsided, the world changed. I thought time might solve things, but now I know that is not the case.” Yoshihito Sasaki, who lost his wife in the tsunami, said, “There are things that you want to forget but that you cannot forget.”
Reuters photos of survivors calling lost love on the “ wind phone ” have garnered extensive coverage across international and local media and social channels, with incredibly powerful images of relatives who say using an offline phone line in the town of Utsuchi gives them some solace. And they grapple with their grief. Reuters Special Reporter Mary Sato appeared on the Japan Times podcast and on ABC TV The World to discuss the story.
A photo essay titled Wider Image offered a look at a man rescuing forgotten cats in the nuclear area. It was a high-profile event on social media last week and spread in Japanese, with some people reaching out to ask how they could help with the cat rescue effort. The Reuters video package for the story has garnered more than 1.4 million views on Yahoo and nearly 200,000 views on Twitter in Japanese.
On Memorial Day, Reuters agents used Reuters coverage for everything from the moment of silence to speeches by the emperor and Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to the fireworks in Fukushima.
