TOKYO: More than 50 people were being evacuated from a storm-battered Japanese island Wednesday, where mudslides left 45 dead or missing last week, ahead of another typhoon expected to strike this weekend.
The island, whose residents nowadays number around 8,000, is a popular tourist spot. Around 210,000 people visited last year, drawn by plentiful camelia blooms and the volcano's accessible caldera. - AFP
