IndiaTimes Friday, 5 January 2024
Rescue workers in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, are searching for survivors after a 7.6 magnitude earthquake devastated the region, prompting tsunami warnings. The death toll stands at 92, with 242 people still missing. Many of the missing are elderly and from the cities of Wajima and Suzu. The earthquake has caused roads to crack and houses to collapse, making rescue efforts challenging. Essential supplies such as water, food, and blankets are running short, and roads blocked by landslides are hindering relief efforts. Despite the challenges, no major issues have been reported at nuclear plants in the area.
