Police say an 80-year-old woman and a teenage boy have been rescued from the wreckage of a house in northeastern Japan, nine days after a devastating earthquake and tsunami. Rescuers found the 16-year-old boy on the roof of his house in the hard-hit city of Ishinomaki, calling out for help, according to the Miyagi Prefectural Police.
He then led rescuers inside, where they found an 80-year-old woman. Both were weak but conscious.
National broadcaster NHK showed a helicopter taking the two to a nearby hospital.
