Emergency workers in Taiwan attempt to reach 600 people trapped by earthquake | BBC News


Emergency workers in Taiwan are still trying to reach about 600 people either trapped in highway tunnels or cut off in remote areas after Wednesday’s earthquake.

Almost all those who need rescued are guests and staff of a remote hotel who are unable to leave because of damaged roads.

Ten people were killed and more than 1,000 injured in the island’s biggest quake in more than 25 years.

However, strict building regulations in Taiwan helped prevent a more major catastrophe.
