The Hiroshima prefectural police department said Friday that it has identified all 72 people who have been confirmed dead so far in the massive landslides that hit the city of Hiroshima last week.
Two people, a man and a woman in their 60s, remained unaccounted for nine days after the landslides, induced by torrential rain, devastated the northern part of the city, the police said.
About 3,500 rescue workers from the police, firefighters and Self-Defense Forces personnel conducted an intensive search in the Yagi district of the city’s Asa-Minami Ward, where the two missing people lived.
In the district, 50 people were killed in the disaster.
