Rescuers in Japan are rushing to find 242 people missing after a devastating New Year’s Day earthquake.

A critical 72-hour period to find survivors from when the quake struck ended late on Thursday.

Today, the death toll from the 7.6 magnitude earthquake in the remote Noto peninsula rose to 92.

Many people are thought to be trapped under their collapsed homes – mostly in the towns of Suzu and Wajima.

The wooden structures were not built to withstand powerful earthquakes that frequently plague the country.
