19 people still missing on Japan's island of Hokkaido after earthquake

  • 6 years ago
Rescuers are scouring Japan's island of Hokkaido for survivors after Thursday's six-point-seven magnitude earthquake.
Twenty people have been confirmed dead.
Nineteen are still reported as missing as the quake triggered landslides that buried homes and buildings.
The search is becoming more desperate as the 72-hour "golden window" for finding survivors will pass before dawn on Sunday.
Over one-and-a-half million people across Hokkaido remain without power.
