On 11th March 2022, Japan was hit by a devastating tsunami triggered by an 8.1 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Fukushima prefecture. This caused widespread flooding, damage to infrastructure and displacement of many people along its path, with Sendai City, Ishinomaki City, Kesennuma City and Tokyo Bay area including Yokohama City being among the most affected cities. Recovery efforts have been ongoing since then with both local governments providing support for those affected as well international aid organisations sending assistance for relief efforts.
