Heavy rainfall in Japan's Noto Peninsula has led to severe flooding and landslides, compounding the damage from a previous earthquake, with many lives at risk.
The Japanese Meteorological Agency issued an emergency heavy rain warning for Ishikawa Prefecture, indicating that residents' lives were in imminent danger due to ongoing severe weather.
Record-breaking rainfall was recorded in two Ishikawa cities, with Wajima City receiving 10.7 inches in just six hours, nearly doubling its previous record, exacerbating the disaster.
Evacuation orders were issued for over 100,000 residents in Ishikawa and neighboring Kumamoto as current and forecast heavy rains heightened concerns for safety.
