The death toll from Japan’s New Year’s Day earthquake topped 100 on Sunday with more than 200 people still missing, the country’s deadliest quake in nearly eight years.

Wajima city has recorded the highest number of deaths with 59, followed by Suzu with 23. The disaster resulted in more than 500 injuries, at least 27 of them serious.

The search for survivors under collapsed buildings continued for a sixth day as more than 30,000 evacuees awaited aid.

The magnitude 7.6 earthquake that struck Japan’s west coast destroyed infrastructure, leaving 23,000 homes without power in the Hokuriku region.
