The historic quake killed at least 12 people and injured more than 1,000. Several hundred people remained stranded after vital highways were damaged and the walls of some structures cracked.
Rescuers in Taiwan faced the threat of further landslides and rockfalls in their search on Friday for a dozen people still missing from this week's earthquake, as the death toll rose to 12 and some of the stranded were brought to safety.

Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs is working to determine the fate of two Australians reported missing, two days on from Taiwan's strongest earthquake in 25 years. Rescuers are still searching for missing people, but they have confirmed around 400 people cut off at a hotel in the Taroko Forge national park are safe. More than 1000 people are injured and at least 10 people are dead, with the Hualien county being one of the worst affected areas from the quake.
