Description | There was a group of bomb survivors on the streetcar road bound for Eba in Funairi-saiwai-cho. The soldiers giving them medical treatment could only rub white powder onto their wounds. They didn’t even have a cloth to provide to those who were naked. Dying children were clinging to their dead mothers. There were straw mats to create sunshade, but only a few. Everyone was dying, unable to speak. Military medics didn’t say anything either. There was an eerie silence in the strong daylight. |
