The Journal of Humanitarian Studies Vol. 2, 2013When I saw a flash at the chief nurses room, I became buried under the nurse dormitory. [...] In the darkness, I saw studentswere running around, and heard voices under the debris, which were asking help and screaming in great pains. Due to these,I came to myself, and immediately ran to the main building of the hospital to ask to help. [...] There were students in a stateof apparent death, when we rescued them. Although we gave first aid treatment, some of them died. There were survivors,who were seriously injured and were not able to walk alone. Therefore, we carried them by a stretcher to a ground of themain building. We also brought survivors, who were able to walk by alone, to the ground around four or five o’clock.The ground was fully covered with victims. An enormous number of victims, who were carried by stretchers, arrived atthe ground endlessly; however, they died one after another. It was truly the picture of hell. (Misery of the Atomic BombSurvivors and the Relief Activities) (16)One of nursing students, who was rescued from the collapsed nurse dormitory on the day of the atomic bombing,describes as follow.After that we were rescued, we gathered at an inner courtyard of the hospital. Nurses who were fine with their wounds likeme immediately began their duties without any treatment for their own injuries. We carried out the relief activities for a largenumber of A-bomb victims, who were standing in line at the entrance. In fact, senior nursing students acted mainly insideof the hospital building at immediate after the bombing. We worked with a few survived nurses whole day and night. I thinkthat the Red Cross sprit, which we had learnt for a year, encouraged our intense relief activities. The spirit is a gift for us.(Exposure to the Atomic Bombing: Experience of the End of the War in my Student Days)In order to protect the hospital from sparks flying from the fire in the surrounding area, nurses desperately beatsparks with wet brooms. They also cremated dead bodies of hospital staff, nursing students and victims. A classmateof the former nurse student writes,“I will never forget that extraordinary scene in my life ever.”All houses, which had been standing just in the morning, had collapsed and many people, who were bleeding and sufferingwith fractures, walked and walked towards the Red Cross Hospital. [...] I was thoroughly occupied with the tasks that Ihad to deal with; therefore, I could not think about my friends and teachers from the nursing school. I put zinc oil, rivanoldisinfectant with gauzes on injured sites of survivors without any thought. [...] It was night. I laid survivors down, and weta towel with water from a broken pipe, which was drain water. I put the wet towel on forehead of victims in order to reducetheir extreme high fever. [...] However, many survivors died one after and another. It was also my work to cremate deadpeople. (Unforgettable Moment)3. Relief Activities in the Surrounding Areas of the City of HiroshimaAt the last phase of the war, the Hiroshima Army Ono Branch Hospital was independent from the Hiroshima ArmyHospital and it became the Ono Army Hospital, which was located at the seashore facing on Miyajima Island inHiroshima. The JRCS Hiroshima Chapter deployed Emergency Relief Party No. 8 to the hospital. At the hospital,nurses were exposed to the sudden bright flash likewise burning magnesium and felt great shock waves soundfrom the bottom of their bellies. After a while,“a severely burnt woman, who was grotesque appearance,”foundher way to the hospital. Furthermore, in the afternoon, many severely injured victims were carried to the hospitalby truck.We had no idea how to cure victims, whereas we were heavily involved in putting zinc oil on burn sites, removing glass74人道研究ジャーナルVol. 2, 2013
