Thousands of rescuers continue search for survivors in Japan after a deadly earthquake and tsunami on New Year's Day. The extent of the damage is still unclear, with rescuers struggling to reach the northernmost areas of the peninsula due to severed roads. Many evacuees remain cut off from food, water, electricity, and communications in freezing temperatures and bad weather. Material aid has been delivered, but it is not enough for the 11,000 evacuees in Wajima city. The government pledged 4 billion yen for disaster relief.
