Among the dead are those who fell from roofs during snow removal, elderly people who died from overexertion while clearing roads and yards. In Niigata Prefecture on the coast of the Sea of Japan, one of the locals was crushed by the debris of his own house, which collapsed under the weight of snow.
The authorities in many areas do not have time to clear the roads, which have formed huge traffic jams.
In addition, elementary and secondary schools in some areas have been closed for three days in a row. report.az.
