With just three days remaining, rescuers in Japan are working against the clock to find survivors of the New Year’s Day earthquake. On Monday at 16:10 local time (07:10 GMT), a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck the isolated Noto peninsula, killing at least 82 people. Many individuals, especially from the towns of Suzu and Wajima, are said to be trapped under their collapsing homes. The likelihood of discovering somebody alive significantly decreases after 72 hours. Tens of thousands of people still lack access to water and electricity, and hundreds more are cut off from assistance because of blocked roads and landslides. Earlier on Thursday, Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida declared that 150 people had been saved thus far and that rescue efforts would continue.
