Tokyo - rescue teams searched for by Matchstick debris Saturday for thousands of people missing in the flooded areas in northeastern of Japan, one of the most complex relief efforts in history from.

The day after the 8.9 earthquake and massive tsunami, all cities were unreachable, and some were feared, wiped off the map. The most estimates put the death toll to 1,700, but police in Miyagi - one of the strongest affected Gebiete-, quoted intelligence services that they expect the number more than 10,000 in this region alone.

About 200,000 people living in shelters. A strip of the main island of Honshū has almost no electricity to communicate with scarce resources. Many places have no heat. Survivors to a primary school in the ravaged coastal city Minamisanriku used chalk to write their message on a dirt playground: "SOS."
