At the beginning of this month in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, approximately 100 members of Turkey's ethnic minority group, the Kurds, flocked to the vicinity of a hospital, causing a commotion that led to the deployment of the prefectural police riot squad. As a result, the acceptance of emergency cases was suspended for about 5.5 hours on the 30th. Kawaguchi City is the municipality with the largest foreign resident population in Japan, and it serves as the largest Kurdish settlement in the country.At 9:00 PM, approximately 100 foreigners began gathering around the "Kawaguchi Municipal Medical Center," a comprehensive hospital in the city. All of them were believed to be Kurdish individuals with Turkish nationality, and the commotion continued until around 1:00 AM on the 5th.The trigger for the incident was believed to be a dispute involving a woman. At around 8:30 PM on the 4th, a man in his 20s with Turkish nationality was attacked and cut with a knife by several other men of Turkish nationality on a street in the city. Subsequently, relatives and acquaintances from both sides gathered at the hospital upon hearing about the emergency transportation of the injured man. They reportedly attempted to force open the entrance door of the hospital's emergency department and raised their voices. In response to the disturbance, the hospital notified the police and subsequently suspended the acceptance of emergency cases. During this time, there were a total of 21 emergency transports within the three cities. Among them, there was one case of "emergency transport difficulty" where the destination took more than 30 minutes to decide. Fortunately, there were no life-threatening incidents during this period.A male resident (48) said, "A young Kurdish man, about 2 meters tall, was shouting in broken Japanese, 'My relative got stabbed.' Cars kept gathering on the road in front of the hospital."Kawaguchi City, with a population of approximately 600,000, has around 39,000 foreign residents, accounting for 6.5% of the population.Many Turkish Kurdish individuals in Japan have applied for refugee status, citing discrimination and persecution in their home country as reasons for seeking asylum. However, very few of them have been granted refugee status, and a considerable number of them remain in an undocumented status, living as undocumented immigrants in Japan.Around JR Warabi Station, which is adjacent to Kawaguchi City, a significant community of Kurdish residents has formed, with various Middle Eastern restaurants and grocery stores scattered throughout the area. This region is referred to as "Warabistan."EAT THE BUGSInsect food How does it taste?
