Rescuers were braving the cold in a race against time on Thursday as they searched for survivors after the quake earlier in the week smashed homes and left at least 84 people dead and 51 missing. In Anamizu, in the Ishikawa prefecture, debris from wrecked buildings lined the streets while the roofs of many homes laid scattered on the ground after collapsing as the quakes rocked the town. Ishikawa prefecture and nearby areas have been shaken by more aftershocks, adding to the dozens that followed Monday's magnitude 7.6 temblor centered near Noto, about 300 kilometers (185 miles) from Tokyo on the opposite coast. The quake set off tsunami warnings, followed by waves measuring more than one meter (three feet) in some places. Ishikawa officials said 48 of those who died were in the city of Wajima and 23 were in Suzu. The 13 others were reported in five neighbouring towns. More than 300 people have been injured, at least 26 seriously. Those reported missing ballooned from 15 to 79 overnight, including a 13-year-old boy. Officials initially said 80 were missing but corrected the number later. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida reinforced rescue operations with about 3,600 soldiers in addition to the initial 1,000. Their mission is to provide those affected with fresh water and hot meals, as well as set up bathing facilities for the 34,000 who lost their homes and are now staying at evacuation facilities. Although Japan is reputed for relatively reliable disaster relief, essential supplies such as water, food and blankets have been running short AP video shot by: Ayaka McGill =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
