An elderly woman was rescued from her collapsed home in Japan’s Wajima city on Thursday as rescue workers raced to find survivors of the New Year’s Day earthquake, despite a three-day survival window closing.
The woman, in her 80s, was conscious while trapped under the collapsed first floor of her home, the Osaka Fire Department said.
Deaths climbed on Friday to at least 94 people and more than 200 people are still missing after a series of quakes rattled Japan’s western coast.
Thousands of Japanese troops have joined the relief effort amid growing concerns about communities where water, food and medicine have yet to arrive.
