Kyodo News Agency said Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan said, more than 3,000 people have been rescued. Some of them were taken from the collapsed houses, muddy water and debris burning. The official death toll was expected to alleged victims is much greater than officially recorded. NHK Japan Broadcasting reported more than 900 were killed. Meanwhile, Kyodo News Agency said the death toll could be above 1800. While the police claimed 1429 people were injured.
