We begin in central Japan, where a massive earthquake on New Year's Day has now claimed at 213 lives in Ishikawa prefecture. Eight people are believed to have died from causes related to the disaster after initially evacuating to safety, authorities are focusing on the most vulnerable survivors to ensure the figure does not rise. Officials in Ishikaweal are asking nearby prefectures to accept elderly residents of nursing care homes with no power or water. A Self Defense Force helicopter was seen Thursday transporting senior citizens to Aichi prefecture
We hear there are many more people in this kind of situation. And we hope to be of help.
Doctors are keeping a close eye and ambulances are at the ready. 12 medical institutions in Aichi received 30 people on Thursday. More than 23,000 citizens are staying at 400 municipal shelters such as school gymnasiums, authorities want to move vulnerable evacuees to hotels and other types of accommodation. The central government is trying to secure lodgings for 10,000 people by the end of the week.
Restoring infrastructure and securing housing will take some time and people should consider moving to a safer place to protect their lives and health.
Still, authorities are struggling to disseminate information about so called secondary evacuations.
We want to know when and how people here can move. We want to know the details.
At least 2500 people are still isolated due to damaged roads and railways. A self defense force medical team flew to Otani town where about 200 people have been stranded since the quake
we really appreciate the various kinds of support. I have to stay here for some time, even though my house was damaged
Some schools in affected areas have we started after the winter break. But the classes are by no means full. Here there were just 30 students on the first day that's less than half the total. And the first thing they learned was how to use a portable toilet because the school still has no water and as for the gymnasium, it's filled with evacuees.
Harsh weather is compounding the stress for many survivors, rainfall and a severe cold snap or forecast on Friday in some of the hardest hit areas. Officials are warning of possible landslides and they're urging people to take measures against hypothermia.

私たちは石川県、大地震が新年早々に約213人の命を奪った中部日本から始めます。災害関連の原因で避難後に死亡したとみられる人は8人おり、当局は死者数が増えないように最も脆弱な生存者に焦点を当てています。石川県の当局は、停電や断水の介護施設の高齢居住者の受け入れを近隣の県に求めています。木曜日に陸上自衛隊のヘリコプターが高齢者を愛知県に搬送しているのが目撃されました。
