Caritas Taiwan Appeal for Aid

(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 to the many people in need.
