Catastrophic floods in Japan have killed at least 155 people, deemed to be the country’s worst floods in 36 years.

Despite 7 million residents being told to evacuate on Sunday, more than 60 people are still unaccounted for this morning, with many citizens facing health risks from a lack of water and high temperatures.

The Japanese Agency of Meteorology has said as much as 10 centimeters of rainfall per hour fell on large parts of south-western Japan.
