Following Tuesday's knife attack at a care home for people with disabilities, concerns have emerged over how to care for the survivors who must remain at the gruesome crime scene.

According to prefectural authorities and the managers of Tsukui Yamayuri En care home in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, 69 male and 45 female residents were left unharmed, and most of them, about 100, still live there.

The facility for people with intellectual and other disabilities is divided into eight areas with 20 residents each. Six sections were attacked by the knife-wielding man, who murdered 19 residents and injured 26.
