Two babies are among 340 people pulled from the wreckage of fallen apartment buildings in the Taiwanese city of Tainan as rescue teams work through twisted metal and fallen bricks in attempts to save the injured. The magnitude 6.4 quake has claimed the lives of 11 people as vibrations toppled at least eight apartment buildings, including the 17-floor Wei Kuan high rise, which was home to 256 people.
At least 475 people have been injured in the city, which has a population of over two million, when the quake struck just before 4am (8pm GMT) on Friday, 5 February. Among the dead was a 10-day-old baby according to local media.
