Snow Hinders Rescue Of Earthquake Victims

WAJIMA, Japan (AP) — Rescue teams are working through snow to deliver supplies to isolated hamlets six days after a powerful earthquake hit western Japan, killing at least 128 people. Heavy snowfall expected in Ishikawa Prefecture later Sunday and through the night is adding to the urgency. Over 200 people are still unaccounted for after Monday’s 7.6 magnitude temblor, and 560 people were injured. Hundreds of aftershocks have followed, rattling Noto Peninsula. A woman in her 90s was pulled alive from a collapsed house, where she had waited for 124 hours before she was rescued. Ishikawa officials say 1,370 homes were completely or partially destroyed.
