On Saturday evening local time on the Izu Peninsula, southwest of Tokyo, the Typhoon Hagibis – one of the strongest to hit the country in years – originated a landfall that caused at least 74 fatalities and thousands of residents have remained without power or water.
An estimated 5,500 people remain housed in shelters, more than 230,000 people had been evacuated ahead of the storm and 9,962 houses had been flooded across the country.
The arduous search for survivors continued in flood-hit areas.
