The death toll from Japan’s devastating New Year’s Day earthquake has risen from to more than 160, authorities say.
Efforts are continuing to find more than 100 people who remain missing a week later.
But bad weather is hampering rescuers- with heavy rain and snow triggering warnings of landslides and building collapses.
The 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the remote Noto peninsula – toppling buildings and sparking a major fire.
The majority of the deaths have happened in the hard-hit cities of Wajima and Suzu.
Meanwhile, the number of people missing has dropped from 195 to just over 100. The death toll has jumped from the 120 reported on Sunday.
More than 2,000 people are reportedly still cut off due to massive damage to roads. Several others are living in emergency shelters.
