NATORI, JAPAN - MARCH 02: Photographs lie in a school gymnasium set up as a collection site for lost possessions from last year's tsunami on March 2, 2012 in the Yuriage area of Natori, Japan. The NGO, Omoide - Sagashi in Yuriage, working on the repatriation of lost articles, was started by a couple whose daughter is still missing. As the one-year anniversary approaches, the areas most affected by an earthquake and subsequent tsunami that left 15,848 dead and 3,305 missing, according to Japan's National Police Agency, continue to struggle. Thousands of people without homes remain living in temporary dwellings. The Japanese government faces an uphill battle with the need to dispose of rubble as it works to rebuild economies and livelihoods. (Photo by Daniel Berehulak/Getty Images)
