An 80 year-old grandmother and her 16 year-old grandson were found suffering from hypothermia but otherwise unharmed nine days after an earthquake and tsunami destroyed their home in the Miyagi prefecture city of Ishinomaki.
More than 20,000 people are dead or missing in the devastation from a 9.0 earthquake and tsunami on March 11 but Sumi Abe and her grandson Jin Abe managed to survive the bitter cold in the wreckage of their home for over a week.
The two, who were in the kitchen when the quake struck, survived on yogourt, Coca-Cola and water from the refrigerator, media are reporting.
Miyagi prefecture was the hardest hit of the Japanese prefectures with a confirmed death toll of 4,882.
