New Disaster facing in Japan: million of people in Japan no Water, Power and Food. Tagajo, Japan - Millions of Japanese were without drinking water or electricity on Sunday, surviving on instant noodles and rice balls, two days after a powerful earthquake and tsunami struck the northeastern coast, killing at least 1,000 people.

Although the government has doubled the number of soldiers stationed in the audience to 100,000, seemed overwhelmed by what appears to be a triple disaster. Friday's earthquake and tsunami damaged two nuclear reactors at a power plant on the coast and at least one of them seemed to go through a partial melting, raising fears of a radiation leak.

"At first I was worried about the earthquake, now I am worried about radiation. I live near the factories, so I came here to see if I'm okay. I was negative, but I do not know what to do," said Kenji Koshiba, a worker building in an emergency center in Koriyama.

Officials said at least 1,000 people were killed - including 200 bodies found Sunday along the coast - and 678 missing in the earthquake and tsunami that hit with power at breathtaking speed, while carrying on his passage.

U.S. Geological Survey estimated the quake to have a size of 8.9, while Japanese officials raised their estimate to 9.0 on Sunday. Anyway, it is the strongest earthquake ever recorded in Japan.

Teams wanted for hundreds of missing along miles (kilometers) from the Japanese coast, and thousands of hungry survivors huddled in emergency shelters have been separated from the rescuers went dark and assistance. At least 1.4 million homes were without water since the earthquake and about 2.5 million homes were without electricity.

Large parts of the country was surrounded by water and inaccessible. Gasoline stations were closed and people were running for gasoline for their cars.

The public broadcaster NHK said about 380 000 people were evacuated and emergency shelters, many without electricity.

In the city of Iwaki, residents have left because of concern about food and fuel reduction. The city had no electricity and all the shops were closed. The local police had taken about 90 people and gave them blankets and rice balls, but there was no evidence of government support trucks or military.

Tagajo in the small town near the port city hardest hit stunned residents of Sendai roamed the streets crowded with cars crushed, broken homes and Twisted Metal.

Residents said the water rose and grew faster than the first floor of buildings. General Hospital worked feverishly Sengen staff to move bedridden patients up the stairs at a time. With rooms at night, you can leave went to the local community center.

"There is still no water or energy, and we have some very bad people here," said a hospital official Ikuro Matsumoto.

One of the most elderly of the neighborhood sits on a small field near the channel. The tsunami came from the side of the canal and the fragile wooden houses blown up, coating the interior with a thick layer of mud and its contents spill out across the street.

"It 's two days, and all I got so far is a piece of bread and rice ball," said Masashi Imai, 56
