"Japan Earthquake Aftermath: Survivors, Landslides, and Economic Impact"
Japan is facing a dire situation following a 7.6 magnitude earthquake that struck the Noto peninsula on New Year's Day, leaving 92 dead and 242 missing. Despite the critical 72-hour window for finding survivors having passed, rescue efforts continue with increased troops. The earthquake caused extensive damage, landslides, and a small tsunami, leading to tens of thousands without utilities and hundreds cut off from aid. The Japanese government has allocated funds for assistance, while rescue teams face challenges reaching isolated areas due to aftershocks and blocked roads.
