Rescue efforts continue after quake hits Taiwan

Rescue efforts are taking place in Taiwan after a powerful earthquake struck off its east coast on Wednesday (Apr 3), killing at least four people.

The 7.4 magnitude quake caused multiple buildings to collapse in Hualien, the city closest to the epicentre.

The strongest tremor to hit the island in 25 years was also felt as far as Taiwan's mountainous interior, which was rocked by huge landslides.

In the capital Taipei, footage showed buildings shaking violently.
