TOKYO, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Eleven people were killed and five were rescued in a fire at a facility to support senior people on welfare in northern Japan late on Wednesday, public broadcaster NHK said. The facility is run by a Sapporo organisation that helps those who are on a public assistance by providing food and helping them find jobs, NHK said. In March 2010, seven people at a nursing home for elderly people with dementia were killed in a fire in Sapporo, Kyodo news agency said.
