A woman in her 90s has been pulled alive from a collapsed house in western Japan, 124 hours after a major earthquake slammed the region, killing at least 126 people, toppling buildings and setting off landslides.

The woman in Suzu city, Ishikawa prefecture, had survived for more than five days after the 7.6 magnitude tremor that hit the area on Monday.
