The death toll in the devastating earthquake in Japan has reached 126. More than 200 people are still missing. In such a situation, the death toll is likely to increase further. After the earthquake, torrential rains and severe snowfall have made life difficult for the earthquake victims. Let us tell you that last week there was a strong earthquake of 7.6 magnitude on the west coast of Japan. There is also a danger of problems in sending relief material due to aftershocks after the earthquake and collapse of houses and blocking of main roads.
A child’s condition suddenly worsened and he died on Friday, according to Ishikawa Prefecture, the region hardest hit by the earthquake. This child got burnt due to boiling water falling on him during the earthquake. Officials warned that if earthquakes continue, already damaged houses and roads could be completely destroyed. This danger has increased further due to the possibility of rain and snowfall on Saturday night and Sunday. The death toll increased to 126 on Saturday.
