International rescue teams struggle to find more victims

VICTIMS of the Japanese earthquake, tsunami and snow blizzard are still being found by humanitarian groups and are receiving food, water and medical attention.

A week after the devastating quake and massive ocean wave wiped out towns on the northeast coast of the country, international rescue teams are abandoning the search for survivors in below-freezing temperatures.

At least 6,539 people are confirmed dead, more than 10,000 are still missing and over 410,000 people are in shelters.
