(14 Aug 09 - RV) Taiwan's president said today floods and mudslides unleashed by Typhoon
Morakot last weekend have killed about 500 people on the island.
He also
called on rescue crews to step up their efforts.
Morakot left 7,000 people
homeless and caused major agricultural and property damage.
We spoke to
Sister Emma Lee at Caritas Taiwan about what the church is doing to provide relief
