Liu Shih Chung, the deputy secretary general of Tainan's city government, tells VOA that over 300 people have been rescued from the wreckage, with about 100 others still missing. With 16 rescue teams from all across Taiwan responding to the disaster, and at least 500 experts on hand to provide advice, Liu says they are "entering into the most difficult part" of the rescue effort, as the 72-hour window to find any survivors quickly winds down.
