A lot of people have died in Japan after some big earthquakes, and rescuers are still finding people alive in the rubble.

The TV news showed rescue workers using plastic to keep her out of public sight.

Today, a man was saved from a building that had fallen down. He had been stuck there for 3 days.

Unfortunately, a boy who was five years old got hot water spilled on him during the earthquake and he passed away on Friday.

He was getting better, but then he got worse again, according to officials in Ishikawa, the area most affected.

Rescue efforts are still happening, but they are being slowed down by more shaking that could cause more damage.

The fifth of May, 2024. On Monday, a big earthquake destroyed houses, damaged roads, and caused boats to be tossed around in the water. It also led to warnings about a possible tsunami.

Wajima city has had 69 people die, which is the most, followed by Suzu with 38. Over 500 people got hurt, and at least 27 of them were hurt badly.
