A powerful earthquake in Taiwan felled a 16-storey apartment complex full of families who had gathered for lunar New Year celebrations on Saturday, with at least fourteen dead and more than 100 feared trapped.
The death toll was rising in the historic city of Tainan, which bore the brunt of the 6.4-magnitude quake, as rescuers scoured rubble for survivors.
An entire residential complex of four buildings containing almost 100 homes toppled, left on its side with twisted metal girders exposed and clouds of dust rising from the jumbled concrete.
A 10-day-old baby girl and two other children were among the dead, the National Fire Agency said.
