President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Tadateru Konoe (C) walks among rescue workers searching through rubble in a residential area of tsunami-hit Otsuchi March 14, 2011. ''After my long career in the Red Cross where I have seen many disasters and catastrophes, this is the worst I have ever seen. Otsuchi reminds me of Osaka and Tokyo after the Second World War when everything was destroyed and flattened,'' Tadateru Konoe told Reuters during a visit to the coastal town. In the town of Otsuchi in Iwate prefecture, 12,000 out of a population of 15,000 have disappeared following Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami. REUTERS/Damir Sagolj
