At least 64 people died in the series of earthquakes that struck Japan on Monday. Rescuers are desperately searching for survivors.
The number of victims who lost their lives from the devastating earthquake in Japan two days ago has reached 64.
Search and rescue teams have found other dead bodies under the rubble of the buildings.
This is considered the deadliest earthquake in Japan so far, since 2016. But the Japanese authorities, in addition to being at war with time, are already facing the climate factor.
In the region hit by the earthquake, temperatures are very low, while heavy rain is predicted for the next few hours.
This raises the concern of further landslides, which could hamper the work of search and rescue teams trying to survive under the rubble.
Over 33 thousand people have been evacuated from their homes, while in many other areas there is a lack of electricity and water.
The mayors of the cities most affected by the earthquake have called on the government to distribute aid as soon as possible and to clear the roads, many of which have been blocked, which has made it difficult to deliver food aid.
The 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit the Noto peninsula on Monday afternoon.
The Meteorological Agency warned of other strong earthquakes this week, especially during the first two or three days after the very strong tremors on New Year's Day.
