"Japan Earthquake Aftermath: Landslides, Missing Persons, and a Search for Survivors"
Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Asia expressed their sorrow over the recent earthquakes in Japan and urged members and residents to stay alert for aftershocks. All missionaries and church members are reported safe. The earthquakes caused significant damage, leading to a death toll of 55 and prompting nearly 100,000 evacuations due to tsunami risks. The church's Asia Area North presidency, led by Elder Takashi Wada, called for prayers and recommended donations to the Church Humanitarian funds to assist in relief efforts.
