Japanese rescuers continue to search for survivors from Monday’s earthquake in Ishikawa prefecture as authorities warned heavy rain, landslides and repeated aftershocks could hamper relief efforts.
The regional government said on Wednesday that 62 people had been confirmed dead and more than 300 injured, 20 of them seriously. It warned the death toll was likely to climb further. The magnitude-7.6 quake struck on Monday afternoon off the Noto Peninsula, flattening houses in Suzu on its northern coast and triggering fires.
