City workers move part of a shipment of 240,000 bottles of water to be distributed to government offices around Tokyo as part of an emergency program to supply infants with uncontaminated water in Tokyo, March 24, 2011. Stores in Tokyo were running out of bottled water on Thursday after radiation from a damaged nuclear complex briefly made tap water unsafe for babies, while more nations curbed imports of Japanese food. Engineers are trying to stabilise a six-reactor nuclear plant in Fukushima, 250 km (150 miles) north of the capital, nearly two weeks after an earthquake and tsunami battered the plant and devastated northeast Japan, leaving nearly 26,000 people dead or missing.
