LIVE: Taiwan Earthquake Latest News | Rescuers Search For Survivors Aftermath of Massive Earthquake | Taiwan Live | CNBC TV
HUALIEN, TAIWAN - View of destroyed building as rescue and relief efforts are underway in Taiwan after the biggest earthquake in at least 25 years killed nine people on Wednesday and injured more than 900.
Rescue teams are trying to reach more than 100 people trapped in mining areas and a national park after the strongest earthquake in decades hit Taiwan, killing nine and injuring about 1,000 people.
Search efforts around the worst-hit city of Hualien on the east coast have been hampered by more than 50 aftershocks recorded since the quake struck on Wednesday morning, Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration (CWA) said. More are predicted over the next four days, with magnitudes of between 6.5 and 7.
About 80 people are believed to be trapped in mining areas, though it was not immediately clear if they were inside a mine at the time of the quake.
Taiwan's National Fire Agency said at least 946 people were injured when the earthquake, measured as 7.2 magnitude by Taiwan officials and 7.4 by the U.S. Geological Survey, struck near the east coast city of Hualien at about 8 a.m. local time. Hualien is a popular tourist destination 100 miles south of Taipei, where buildings swayed and some damage was reported. A series of aftershocks followed, reaching up to 6.4 magnitude.
In Hualien, the city's mayor, Hsu Chen-Wei, said by the end of the day everyone in buildings there that are considered dangerous had been evacuated and demolition had begun on four.
The White House said Wednesday morning that it is monitoring the impacts from the earthquake on Taiwan and Japan. "The United States stands ready to provide any necessary assistance. All those affected are in our prayers," National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement.
