Pray for people in Japan, where an earthquake has caused major damage and killed at least 30 people. More than 100 aftershocks have followed the initial earthquake and the country is also experiencing a heatwave. Thousands of displaced people are now staying in evacuation centres, over 30,000 households have been left without electricity, and search-and-rescue teams are still looking for survivors amid rubble. Pray for peace for all those feeling unsafe after the earthquake and so many aftershocks, and for the nation as they rebuild.
