Tokyo, March 12 (DPA) The number of people feared dead or missing after Japan was hit by an earthquake and tsunami could top 1,600, news reports said Saturday, as concern rose over damaged nuclear reactors.
Japan was assessing the devastation a day after the 8.9-magnitude quake and 10-metre high tsunami rocked the north-eastern part of the country Friday.
The toll would probably be well over 1,000, said Yukio Edano, the chief cabinet secretary.
'This is the largest earthquake since the Meiji Era, and it is believed that more than 1,000 people have lost their lives,' he said.
Authorities had recovered hundreds of bodies, with more than 1,000 people still missing and many injured, news reports said, the authorities warned of further tsunamis and aftershocks.
