On 11 march 2011, calamity strikes Japan. The TÅhoku earthquake and tsunami was a 9.0-magnitude megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46, making it the most powerful known earthquake to hit Japan, and one of the five most powerful earthquakes in the world. The earthquake triggered extremely destructive tsunami waves of up to 10 meters that struck Japan minutes after the quake, in some cases traveling up to 10 km inland. The Japanese National Police Agency has officially confirmed 7,508 deaths, 2,583 injured, and 11,680 people missing across seventeen prefectures, as well as over 100,000 buildings damaged or destroyed. Around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water.








So, please pray for the citizens of Japan. For those whose loved ones have passed away in the disaster, for those whom are trapped somewhere in the heap of bricks and for those whose restless souls are lingering on the streets.
Even better, help the citizens whom are gathered at shelters by donating generously through reliable organisations. Your helping hand will make a GREAT difference.
