"Search for Missing Continues as Japan Earthquake Death Toll Approaches 100, Aid Mobilizes"

A series of powerful earthquakes hit Japan's western coast, leading to at least 94 deaths and 222 missing persons. Survivors have been found in the rubble, including a woman rescued 72 hours post-disaster and an older man in Suzu. The quakes caused significant damage, including a large fire in Wajima, tsunamis, and landslides. The coastline shifted by up to 250 meters in some areas. Aid is being provided by the United States and individuals like Shohei Ohtani, while thousands of Japanese troops assist in rescue efforts. Evacuation centers house around 34,000 displaced people, with concerns about disease and the need for basic supplies. Despite the devastation, residents are already considering rebuilding their communities.
