Four rescued from the rubble of Taiwanese apartment building

At least four people including an eight-year-old girl have been rescued from a high-rise Taiwanese apartment building toppled by a powerful earthquake two days earlier.

More than 100 people are believed to still be under the debris in a disaster that struck during the most important family holiday in the Chinese calendar — the Lunar New Year.

Saturday’s quake killed at least 38 people in Tainan city in southern Taiwan, all but two of them in the collapse of the 17-storey building.
