Another dreadful natural disaster hit Japan as a “Killer Landslide” stole innocent lives as many as 42 while 51 people are still reportedly missing. The death and missing count is still faltering as of now as heaps of corpse as well as survivors are still being retrieved and rescued by the Japanese rescuers and volunteers.
Volunteers and rescuers flocked together to hasten the search and retrieval operation and is now exerting laborious efforts to discover more survivors. They are very hopeful that they will still find more survivors or even dead bodies. The victims’ relatives can do nothing more but to just pray that their missing loved ones still be rescued after hours of continuous rescue operations.

Approximately 2,400 residents of Northern Hiroshima have been rescued and are now taken good care of by the authorities and evacuation operations are still continuing. It is very pleasant to hear that a lot of families have been rescued. However, those who got trapped inside the landslide ruins are in a very life threatening situation as experts say that an average people can only last more or less than 3 days without food or water.
To add insult to injury, rescue operations in two districts in Hiroshima were reportedly held immobile as the hills become more and more deformed which poses danger for the rescuers and volunteers due to possible landslide reoccurrence. Many homes in the said districts were located close to the mountains which makes it hard for them to be reached by the authorities.
