Lysta has been rescueing cats and dogs in the disaster-stricken area and placing them in foster and permanent homes. They also run a Cat Cafe to raise funds to feed the animals they rescue. Tarachine Clinic has started its operation to screen radiation count on food items and provide thyroid screening services to the people who lived in the affected area. Yet, they have opened a clinic this June to provide pediatric care, as well as radiation screening and other potential health effects and counseling.
