Kuyushu has been hit with a series of large quakes since the shindo 7 quake on Friday evening (there have been several registering shindo 5 or above in the last 24hrs).The nature of aftershocks means that people in Kyushu are suffering through smaller, quakes every 30m or so today. There is a significant risk of damaged buildings collapsing during aftershocks, so people are not able to relax, as they are not safe yet, and many have been evacuated.
Rescue attempts are underway and emergency services are doing their best to get to anyone under the rubble. This eight month old baby girl was pulled from a collapsed building early on Friday morning after the first quake struck. Others have sadly lost their lives.
Please do whatever you can to support relief efforts by donating and signal boosting this post. Thank you.
