The BBC's Mark Worthington says many people in Japan are becoming increasingly concerned about what is going to happen in the future

Another earthquake off the north-east coast of Japan has shaken the already devastated region.

The 6.5-magnitude quake, 109km (67 miles) east of the badly-damaged port city of Sendai, prompted a brief warning of a possible small tsunami.

A much stronger earthquake on 11 March and the powerful tsunami it triggered killed more than 10,000 people and left many thousands more missing.

Workers are battling to stop radiation leaks at a badly damaged nuclear plant.

There have been no reports of damage or injuries from the latest earthquake, which struck at 0723 on Monday (2223 GMT Sunday), according to the US Geological Survey.

The Japan Meteorological Agency warned that a tsunami of 50cm (18 inches) could hit Miyagi prefecture but later lifted the advisory.

A 6.5 earthquake and 18 inch "tsunami" is the least of their worries right now.

Are you referring to the Radiation? Or what precisely?

I'm referring to freezing weather, lack of food and shelter, dead bodies, etc.

Foot and half waves and moderate earthquakes are the norm in Japan which gets up to 15,000 earthquakes in a year with maybe 1,500 of those big enough to be noticeable.
