JAPAN-QUAKE-MINAMISANRIKU

An aerial picture taken on March 14, 2011 shows the devastated city of Minamisanriku, in Miyagi prefecture, after a tsunami almost entirely wiped out the coastal city following a monster earthquake on March 11. Japan is struggling to cope with the enormity of the damage from the record-breaking quake and the tsunami which raced across vast tracts of its northeast, destroying all before it. The official death toll has risen to 2,414, police said on March 15, but officials say at least 10,000 are likely to have perished. AFP PHOTO / NOBORU HASHIMOTO
