Currently, over 10 thousand Mongolians live in Japan. Heavy rain lasting for over ten days has caused great damage and loss of life in Japan.  The death toll from flooding rose to 209 on Saturday with dozens more people still missing, according to the Japan Times. Moreover, 255 thousand buildings, roads and fields were destroyed due to torrential rain and landslides, in addition thousands of people have become homeless. The agriculture ministry assessed losses of at least USD 207 million on Friday, but that figure is expected to increase. This is the deadliest rain-related disaster in Japan since 1982 when more than 300 people were killed in Nagasaki and Kumamoto prefectures.

Non-governmental organizations operating in Japan such as the Hokkaido-Mongolia Relationship Association, Warm Heart in Japan, Union of Mongolian Students in Japan, ‘Local Commodities’ of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Ryuugakusei Friendship company of Japan have launched a donation campaign to help Japanese people who affected by the  disaster. Donations will be delivered to the people who need help through city administrations of the flood-hit regions and corresponding organisations.
