Japan death toll tops 2400

The official death toll from the killer earthquake and tsunami in Japan has passed 2,400. Japan's National Police Agency said 2,414 people are confirmed dead and 3,118 missing, with 1,885 injured in the disaster which struck on Friday afternoon. At least 178 Australians are still unaccounted for in the disaster-affected regions, but the figure could be far higher as consular teams work their way through lists of people who have not yet contacted their families. More than 3,000 houses were flooded by the tsunami, while 130 houses had been burned. There were 68 landslides.
