Japan Flood News | Japan Rain | Floods Sweep Away Homes In Japan’s Quake-Hit Region | N18G | News18 WAJIMA: Rescuers combed the debris-strewn banks of a river in central Japan on Monday, searching for drowning victims after homes were swept away in flooding and landslides that claimed at least seven lives. The river on the Noto Peninsula — an area still reeling from a devastating earthquake in January — overflowed at the weekend, becoming a muddy torrent that inundated roads and a remote hamlet. After the skies finally cleared, police and firefighters from across Japan were joined by residents and the father of a 14-year-old girl who is one of seven missing people. The number of deaths reached seven, with one severely injured and 11 mildly injured as of Monday afternoon, Ishikawa prefecture said on their website. #japan #tsunami #tokyo #japantsunami #earthquake #englishnews News18 Mobile App -
