Officials in Kumamoto prefecture report a new death linked to the aftermath of last week’s earthquake, as extreme temperatures raise the risk of heat-related illness among people sheltering after the quake. An elderly woman in her seventies is found dead in a parked car after developing heatstroke while taking shelter, Kumamoto officials said. Her death raises the quake-related death toll to 36. Both outlets note that the region is experiencing unusually high temperatures and that authorities are warning residents and evacuees about heat stress. Some displaced people continue to sleep in cars or outside their homes, including to maintain privacy, while remaining away from damaged or crowded areas. Meanwhile, the government is working to deliver essential supplies to evacuation centers to improve conditions for those displaced by the quake. Authorities continue to monitor health risks tied to the heat, alongside ongoing response efforts to support survivors and manage displacement in Kumamoto following the magnitude 7.1 earthquake.
