The aftermath of this recent quake compounds the widespread devastation, with the death toll now surpassing 200, while over 100 individuals remain unaccounted for, according to authorities.

Rescue teams continue to confront significant challenges, striving to clear debris and reach nearly 3,500 individuals stranded in remote communities. Recent data from Ishikawa indicates a confirmed death toll of 202, previously recorded at 180, with 102 individuals still untraceable, down from an earlier count of 120.
The seismic activity in the region persists, with over 1,200 aftershocks unsettling the area. The count of missing persons has risen sharply to 323, largely attributed to the severely impacted Wajima area.
