Elderly Woman Trapped Under Quake-Hit Home Rescued In Japan

A woman in her 80s was rescued from under her collapsed home in Japan's Wajima city on January 4 as evacuation personnel raced to find survivors after the deadly New Year's Day earthquake.

The Osaka Fire Department, which responded to the woman's call for help at around 16:28 local time (07:28 GMT), said the resident was conscious while trapped under the collapsed first floor of her home. She was later transported to a hospital in the city, said the fire department.

The 7.6 magnitude quake struck western Japan's Noto peninsula on January 1 afternoon, killing at least 94, and forcing some 33,000 people to evacuate their homes.

With more than 200 people missing, the disaster could be the worst since a massive earthquake and tsunami struck the east coast of Japan in 2011.
