A family rests after being evacuated from the earthquake area at a temporary center at an elementary school in Hualien on Apr 4, 2024. At least nine people were killed and more than 1,000 injured by a powerful earthquake in Taiwan that damaged dozens of buildings and prompted tsunami warnings as far as Japan and the Philippines before being lifted.
Tents for local residents evacuated following an earthquake are seen at a temporary center at an elementary school in Hualien on Apr 4, 2024. "Our worry is when the big aftershocks happen it might be really hard for us to evacuate one more time – especially with the baby," he told AFP.‘Like a scene from the movies’: Singapore actress Yvonne Lim shares Taiwan earthquake experience
The bulk of the people trapped include some in a hotel near Taroko National Park, as well as workers in a nearby tunnel – now completely cut off after a series of landslides hit the main highway leading to it. Massive rocks blocked road tunnels, while uprooted trees could be seen on the cliffs by the highway still shrouded with clouds of dust.
