Damages ordered over tsunami deaths of elementary school students

File photo taken in March, 2011, shows a pile of school bags retrieved from Okawa Elementary School in the city of Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, after the school was hit by the tsunami that followed a major earthquake in northeastern Japan.
