September 24, 1999 World Earthquake toll reaches 2, Rescue workers search for cries beneath rubble of (ml TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — As cries for help increasingly turned to omi nous silence, rescue teams battled the clock yesterday to save nearly 2,000 trapped and missing victims of Taiwan’s devastating earthquake. More than 60 hours after the earthquake struck, at least 2,103 people were known dead, 7,800 in jured and 1,844 still unaccounted for — the vast majority of whom were believed buried under rubble and landslides, the Disaster Manage ment Center said. The center said 2,268 people had been rescued, many of them extracted from some 6,000 com pletely destroyed housing units across the island. Local newspapers said several hundred thousand people were homeless but this could not be offi cially confirmed. The Tliesday temblor had a pre liminary magnitude of 7.6 — about the same strength as the devastating tremor that killed more than 15,000 people in Turkey last month. Although many people were still trapped in buildings, Wednesday’s rescue efforts yielded only nine who were safely brought out, offi cials said. And in some isolated, mountain villages of central Taiwan, the worst- hit region of the island, rescue efforts have just begun. Rescuers had to walk for hours through rugged terrain Wednesday to reach the village of Kuoshin, where a massive flow of mud and rock off three hillsides killed 60 vil lagers and buried 40 others, the Chi na Times reported. Only 50 people, a third of the population, are known to have sur vived as the hills virtually col lapsed and filled up a valley, the newspaper said. One mother, identified as Mrs. Chang, said she and her two daughters were carried along on the slide for a half-mile "as if sit- Shihkang Reservoir TAIWAN Taichung, Kuoshin Touliu Sun Moon Lake Reservoir ting on a magic carpet." The village is located in Nantou County, where 830 people were killed, while more than 970 died in neighboring Taichung County. These two hardest-hit counties are to receive the bulk of $90 million the government said it has allocated for immediate disaster relief. The Taiwanese government said it will spend $32 million to build 2,000 temporary homes to shelter homeless earthquake victims — with an ambitious deadline of three om[ sav\ Ags nu bac. ,,Vol tin I 'Wer io BbosV rm i ser APAtaf' , y es ?t the job weeks to .... «« ry^M/ear.

No contact was made, and no one was hurt. But a series of shooting incidents — the first since the multi national force arrived Monday — and reports of militias gathering in West Timor raised tensions and dissipated the peacekeepers’ warm welcome. Maj. Gen. Peter Cosgrove, commander of the peace keeping force, warned that his men would shoot to kill if they ran into more armed challenges to the foreigners’ authority. A British officer said Indonesian soldiers on trucks opened fire. “They were firing to see what our response drills are like,” Brig. David Richards, commander of the British contingent, said. “They are probing our re sponses. It is a test.” “There are those who are trying to creati sion in the minds of everyone that thingsare now that control of Dili’s chaotic capital has the Indonesian army to the Australian-ledi a) force, Richards said.
