A year after a devastating quake in Japan, many survivors still live in temporary housing, fearing future quakes.

A year after a 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck Japan's Noto Peninsula, killing nearly 470 people, many survivors, including 83-year-old Sueko Naka, continue to live in temporary housing. The disaster destroyed over 6,000 buildings and damaged more than 100,000 others, leaving many residents fearing future quakes. The slow reconstruction and additional natural disasters have led many to relocate, exacerbating Japan's depopulation crisis. The region's population has dropped by 2,500 in the last year.
