Japan earthquakes: Over 100 missing as snow raises landslide risks

Thousands of people made homeless overnight are living in weariness and uncertainty on the western coast of Japan a week after a powerful earthquake left at least 168 dead and dozens missing. The rescue effort since the magnitude 7.6 New Year’s Day quake has drawn thousands of troops, firefighters and police who picked through collapsed buildings hoping to find survivors. Authorities warned of the danger of landslides, exacerbated by a heavy snowfall, throughout the quake’s epicenter on the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa prefecture. At least 323 people are still unaccounted for, a jump from some 100 earlier on Monday as rescuers pour over a list of the region’s population. Another 565 people were injured, and 1,390 homes were destroyed or seriously damaged.

Noto Disaster 1st Quake Killing Over 100 Since Kumamoto in 2016; Death toll reaches 128

The Jan. 1 Noto Peninsula Earthquake has become the first earthquake in the nation to claim more than 100 lives since the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, which led to 276 deaths, with the death toll reaching 128 on Sunday, according to the Cabinet Office. Search and rescue operations are continuing for those trapped in collapsed houses, and the number of victims is expected to rise further. With snowfall forecast for Sunday, the conditions are becoming increasingly dire in the areas hit by the series of quakes, including one registering the maximum 7 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale. Of the 128 confirmed dead as of Sunday, 69 were in Wajima; 38 in Suzu; 11 in Anamizu; five in Nanao; two each in Shika and Noto and one in Hakui, according to the Ishikawa prefectural government. It has not released the names of the victims or detailed causes of death. According to the prefectural government, the safety of 210 people remained unconfirmed as of 2 p.m. Saturday. Separately, it has reported one missing person who may have been caught in a landslide. A 13-year-old boy from Toyama died after being trapped under a collapsed house in Wajima. The first-year junior high school student was visiting his mother’s hometown with his family. In Shika, a 5-year-old boy died from burns sustained from a kettle that fell during the earthquake. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the Hokuriku region is expected to be hit by a strong cold air flow and heavy snowfall from Sunday to Monday. In Ishikawa Prefecture, which was severely damaged by the calamity, rainfall that began Saturday changed to snow on Sunday. The temperature dropped below 1 C in Wajima on Sunday morning. Extra caution is necessary for people in the disaster-hit areas to avoid health problems caused by the sudden drop in temperature.

Deaths from western Japan earthquakes surpass 100; rain and snow imperil already shaky ground

Aftershocks are threatening to bury more homes and block roads crucial for relief shipments, as the death toll from the earthquakes that rattled Japan’s western coastline last week surpassed 100 people. Among the dead was a 5-year-old boy who had been recovering from injuries from Monday’s 7.6 magnitude earthquake. The risk of landslides was growing with rain and snow expected overnight and Sunday. More than 500 people were injured. The temblors left roofs sitting haplessly on roads, with everything beneath them crushed flat. Roads were warped like rubber. A fire turned a neighborhood in Wajima to ashes. More than 200 people were still unaccounted for.
