In the town of Hikawa, Japan, one of the hardest-hit areas in the powerful earthquake in Kumamoto, many residents are without water or electricity, or both, and some are sleeping in their cars.⁣
⁣
Rural communities in southwestern Japan are struggling to get their lives back to normal, two days after a powerful earthquake set off an explosion at a mall, toppled a factory chimney and flattened homes, killing at least 23 people.⁣
⁣
At the front entrance of Hikawa's town hall, officials delivered bottled water and packaged instant rice, while the Ground Self-Defense Force service members came with a trolley to provide fresh water.⁣
