On Friday March 11, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit the East of Japan. It is deemed one of the most powerful earthquake to have hit Japan and one of the most powerful in the world! The earthquake triggered a massive tsunami which destroyed parts of Japan and caused serious damage to the nuclear power plant.

| Epicentre of the eartquake |
More than 15,000 lost their lives, more than 5,000 are injured and more than 8,000 are reported missing. This is probably one of the worst disasters that happened in my lifetime that I can remember right now. As of 3 June, there are still aftershocks all over with some hitting Japan in April killing more people.
People are evacuated, there's no electricity in the bitter cold, still many are missing... the extend of the earthquake and tsunami is just unimaginable! It will take a very long time before Japan rises from this crisis again.
You are in our prayers, Japan.
