Dog Found Alive Underneath The Rubble Of A Collapsed Building In Taiwan

| Published on February 9, 2016

Last weekend, Taiwan was rocked by a 6.4 magnitude earthquake. High-rise buildings toppled, many structures were damaged, 18 people lost their lives, and many were injured.

Rescuers came to search for survivors. Thankfully, a lot of people survived the earthquake. They were buried in rubble, but they were very grateful that they survived and they were rescued.

President Xi Jinping has sent condolences to compatriots in Taiwan after the M6.7 earthquake hit south Taiwan on Saturday. Xi said the government is willing to provide all aid needed.
