Following a powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck Taiwan this week, around 400 individuals remain stranded and await rescue, as reported by the island's fire department on Saturday. Although authorities have confirmed the safety of those stranded, they are currently inaccessible due to landslides and blockages on rural roads near the hard-hit east coast of the island.
The death toll from the earthquake has now reached 13, according to Taiwan's National Fire Agency (NFA). Three bodies were discovered on a mountainous walking trail, with two found on Friday and one on Saturday. Efforts are ongoing to confirm the identities of the recovered individuals.
