Devastating Aftermath Pictures of Typhoon Hagibis in Japan
Search-and-rescue operations continued on Monday in parts of central, east and northeast Japan that were struck over the weekend by the super typhoon Hagibis which left more than 30 people dead and caused severe flooding. Over 110,000 members of the police, fire fighting and Self-Defence Forces were taking part in the operations, Efe news quoted public broadcaster NHK as saying in a report. Rescue efforts could be hampered as rain is forecast in the affected areas on Monday evening and authorities have asked people to exercise caution amid increased risk of flooding and landslides following record rainfall due to the passage of the typhoon. The government has also asked people to stay away from dangerous areas such as rivers and mountain slopes.
