A month after the deadly New Year’s quake, Shaimaa Khalil investigates the extent of devastation in Wajima.
On New Year’s Day a devastating 7.6 magnitude earthquake, and several smaller earthquakes, shook Japan’s remote Noto Peninsula, killing 241 people and leaving a further 11 missing.
About 55,000 houses were destroyed or badly damaged.
Wajima was one of the worst-hit towns – buildings were toppled and a major fire broke.
More than four weeks on, the BBC returned to Wajima to investigate the extent of the devastation – finding people still without running water.
