Cracked roads and raised asphalt: this is how the streets of Ishikawa prefecture look like, after 7.5 magnitude earthquake which struck the central-western coast of Japan at 1610 local time on January 1, 2024.
The images shared on social media show roads destroyed and unusable, vehicles blocked while others circulate on the roads that remain usable. The earthquake prompted the authorities to issue a tsunami risk, inviting the population living on the coast to move inland or find refuge in the hills.
