The process of evacuation from volcanic Miyake Island and the glare of the national spotlight is taking its toll on some evacuees.
As of Thursday, more than 320 Miyake residents at an evacuation shelter in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward had taken advantage of the free medical checkups and counseling services provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
At the National Olympics Memorial Youth Center, the evacuation headquarters, around 10 medical professionals, including two doctors and five nurses, are providing health checks and counseling services to evacuees.
