In photos: Japan recovers and rebuilds 5 years later

On March 11, 2011 a magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit Japan. The earthquake triggered both a deadly tsunami and a triple meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant

Five years later, Japan continues to rebuild and recover from the disaster. The Japanese Red Cross is supporting recovery, through providing psychosocial support, and helping with the reconstruction of hospitals, schools, playgrounds and gymnasiums.

Following the disaster, Canadians were quick to respond, donating about $48 million to support the Red Cross’ efforts.
