Japan is facing mounting humanitarian and nuclear emergencies as the death toll from the earthquake and subsequent tsunami on Friday is rising rapidly as relief efforts intensify.

The disaster has left more than 10,000 people dead, many thousands homeless and millions without water, power, heat or transportation.

Nuclear hazards have also added to the problems as two reactors at Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant exploded, raising fears of leaking radiations and a nuclear meltdown, which will bring added health and environmental problems.
