De acordo com Michelle Obama, “Let’s Move” é para ela:
Tsunami trauma stalks Japanese children
The horror of Japan\\'s tsunami has raised concerns
over the long-term impact on children, some of whom are
already displaying signs of trauma, _______ screaming
nightmares _______ silent withdrawal.
About 100,000 children were displaced by what has
become Japan\\'s worst natural disaster since 1923, with
nearly 20,000 people dead or missing, according to the
charity Save the Children,
The potential for lasting trauma is compounded by the
unusual multiple nature of the event: a massive 9.0-
magnitude earthquake, a devastating tsunami and a
nationwide scare over a possible meltdown at a nuclear
plant.
Experts say the scale of the loss and disruption for
some children would have been almost inconceivable:
homes destroyed, friends disappeared, one or both
parents maybe killed, or siblings and other close family
members missing.
Initial efforts to help children come to terms with the
multiple disasters can only be made in extremely stressful
circumstances, with families packed into ill-equipped
evacuation shelters, suffering bitterly cold nights and
frequent terrifying aftershocks.
\\'We found children in desperate conditions, huddling
around kerosene lamps and wrapped in blankets,\\' said
Save the Children spokesman Ian Woolverton, who
visited several evacuation centres in the coastal regions
of northeast Japan that bore the brunt of the March 11
tsunami.
\\'They told me about their anxieties, especially their
fears about radiation,\\' Woolverton said, adding that
several youngsters had mentioned the atomic attacks on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki which they know about from
school books.
