After the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China (mainland) last Monday were struck by Typhoon Morakot is now the extent of damage in Taiwan apparently.
The mudslides were triggered by the typhoon and several villages in Taiwan were buried or cut off from the outside world have called in this way officially 117 deaths, the salvage work, however, are far from complete, and President Ma Ying-jeou is already speaking of "more than 500 dead. "
The real death toll could even be considerably higher, should be so alone died in the village Hsiaolin 300 people. In order to minimize
the number of deaths are already 38 000 military personnel were assigned to rescue survivors, with many criticizing the slow action of the President.
CONCLUSION
The whole thing is pretty much a disaster for the poor and mountainous south of the country, quite apart from the human disaster. I also think that the reaction of the President will have political consequences.
