Freelance journalist Mizue Furui is a frequent visitor to a small housing complex in northeastern Japan for evacuees from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant disaster.
While domestic issues are not her field, she found herself drawn to Fukushima by parallels she saw between the fate of Fukushima evacuees and Palestinians.
"Both of them have been driven from their homes," says Furui, who has covered Palestinian issues, particularly concerning women and children, for almost 30 years.
