More than a month after the Jan. 1 major Noto Peninsula Earthquake, volunteer efforts in Ishikawa Prefecture's Wajima city have been permitted to commence. The earthquake, which registered a magnitude of 7.6, has led to a challenging situation for volunteers due to logistics issues. These include insufficient accommodation facilities and poor road conditions, which have severely limited the number of volunteers able to assist each day. Additionally, the full extent of damage to cultural properties in the region has not yet been assessed. Amidst the devastation, a male cat was reunited with his owner, providing a glimmer of hope.
