Three days after the major earthquake in Japan, search dog Jennifer rescued a woman from the rubble of a destroyed house. 79 other people are still missing. To search for them, the number of rescuers was increased.
4,600 people are engaged in rescue operations, as Defense Minister Minoru Kihara announced on Platform Y on Thursday. Immediately after the New Year’s Day earthquake, thousands of firefighters, armed forces and police from across Japan descended on Ishikawa Prefecture to help clean up and search for buried people. Specially trained rescue dogs support them.

Authorities said the earthquake killed at least 84 people and injured at least 330 others. 79 people are still missing. Days after the earthquakes, positive news was also reported. “Yesterday the emergency services rescued 122 people. “A search dog (“Jennifer”) found and rescued an elderly woman living alone in a house in Waijima,” Defense Minister Kihara Minoru reported on the X platform (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.
Critical moment reached
At the same time he pointed out that a critical moment had now been reached. The chance of survival of buried victims decreases day by day; the first 72 hours are considered an extremely critical period. As reported, Japan’s Honshu Peninsula was hit by a massive 7.5 magnitude earthquake with more than 150 aftershocks on New Year’s Day. Tsunami waves followed. Numerous houses on the Noto Peninsula collapsed or were damaged. Roads became impassable and a major fire destroyed a historic market district in the city of Wajima.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida called for a “comprehensive effort” to save as many lives as possible. The number of dead and missing has continued to rise recently.
