As with other people in the region, she has had three chances to return to her property, but she did not want to apply believing that it shouldn't be so easy for people to return to such a contaminated area. Her husband went and confirmed that the house was undamaged from the earthquake, but their vegetable gardens were overgrown with weeds and their dog, which they were unable to return and save, was gone.His leash had been cut, but they have no idea whether he is still alive. They now live in a small apartment in Aizu, far from their home, and Ms Oga’s dream to live and farm in the countryside is gone for now.Locations:Asia-JapanDate:1 Nov, 2011Credit:© Robert Knoth / GreenpeaceMaximum size:7000px X 5741pxKeywords:Day-Eye contact-Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant-Indoors-KWCI (GPI)-Local population-Natural disasters-Nuclear (campaign title)-Nuclear accidents-Nuclear radiation-One person-Portraits-Radiation victims-Refugees-WomenShoot:Fukushima Inhabitants and Evacuees PortraitsPortraits of Fukushima inhabitants, some still living in the area, others evacuated to other cities, in preparation for the one year anniversary of the Japanese tsunami and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disasters.Related Collections:Fukushima One Year On5th Anniversary of Fukushima Disaster in Japan5th Anniversary of Fukushima Nuclear Disaster (Photos & Videos)
