body after day the search and rescue never seem to materialize. in japan you barely saw a dead body after day two because they were going through and trying to retrieve bodies and find people alive and they did find people still alive. here, i haven't -- i don't know about you -- >> i haven't seen any dogs searching, any people. >> i've seen two dogs, in five days, two dogs. >> locals simply trying to fix the problems themselves. the question is how many people lost their lives. we've gone from 10,000 to 2500. the smell as you-all know is remarkably overpowering and so much of it, gives you a real sense how bad the devastation could be. >> this whole relief story is about the victims, about what happens to them over the next week or so. can they hold out? we're getting stories of looting for three or four days now. looting is a bit of a mute point for people trying to stay alive. the military presence serves a purpose. it gives the sense of there is authority. you can't have a town that is lawless and people think they can do and have to do what they want. the military is there and makes a difference but without aid it
