Three of us went north into the devastated areas Sunday at midnight with a packed two-ton rental truck with 1,000 liters of water, gasoline, blankets, food, warm clothes, etc, that many people donated. We distributed supplies to a small church, an elementary school housing displaced people, and drove around town (Ueda town, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture) giving water to people. We found that people were so desperate for water that when we ran out, they wanted the not-so-clean spill-over can water. It was very sad to run-out with people still coming with plastic bags and trash cans and anything they could bring to get water.
