TOKYO, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- The death toll has risen to 100 in the central Japanese prefecture of Ishikawa after a series of earthquakes of up to 7.6 magnitude struck the prefecture and its vicinity, amid fears of escalating casualties despite intensified rescue and search efforts.
A total of 211 people were reported missing in Ishikawa as of Saturday, local media reports showed citing local authorities.
On day six of the earthquake, the most-hit coastal city of Wajima confirmed 59 deaths, facing about 100 reports about people being buried and trapped under collapses of buildings.
