Search and rescue efforts ongoing as clean-up begins in Taiwan | DW News

Rescuers are still working to reach scores of people trapped after Wednesday's earthquake in Taiwan, as a massive clean-up operation begins. At least 10 people were killed and over a thousand injured in the quake. In the eastern city of Hualien near the epicenter, workers have begun demolishing a building that's been tilting at a severe angle since the disaster struck. Officials hope to complete the demolition in two weeks. The magnitude 7.4 tremor was the island's worst in a quarter century. DW Correspondent James Chater reports from Hualien.
