    Cooking took place outdoors at the Shinhekinzen Special Relief Hospital, located approximately 3.0 km south-southeast of the hypocenter of the Nagasaki atomic bomb. The families of A-bomb survivors cooked rice in a corner of the schoolyard of the Shinhekinzen National School (now the Nagasaki Municipal Library), which served as the relief station. The building on the far left is the Sumo wrestling hall, and on the right is the indoor gymnasium and auditorium.

　The windows of Shinshinzen National School were broken by the blast of the Nagasaki atomic bomb. The school building itself survived. It was used as a first aid station for the injured victims of the bombing. Because the Shin Shin Shin Zen National School was spared from similar fires and was solidly built with reinforced concrete, it was used as a first aid station immediately after the Nagasaki atomic bomb exploded. Classrooms were used as examination rooms, hospital wards for hospitalized patients, and living quarters for A-bomb survivors. The number of patients treated immediately after the date of the bombing on August 9, when the relief station was damaged near the hypocenter and many A-bomb survivors rushed to Shinshinzen National School, is unknown. The number of A-bombed patients treated exceeded approximately 8,000 inpatients and outpatients during the 15-day period from August 17 to August 31 alone.

　The Shinsozen National School, which escaped the fire caused by the Nagasaki atomic bomb dropped and exploded on August 9, 1945, became the Shinsozen National School Rescue Center, and on August 11, a rescue team arrived from the Hario Marine Corps. Later, a medical team from the Takeo Branch of the Sasebo Naval Hospital also arrived. The relief efforts were temporarily interrupted by a fire from the direction of the prefectural government office. On August 16, the Oyakozen National School became the largest relief station in Nagasaki City, replacing the Nagasaki Medical College Hospital, which had been destroyed. On August 16, the hospital became the Shinshinzen Special Relief Hospital, and on October 6, it became the Nagasaki Medical College Annexed Clinic, where treatment of Nagasaki atomic bomb survivors continued.
