Just one month after the massive earthquake in Turkey, Taiwan has been struck by a similar quake. The 7.6 earthquake took the lives of over 2,000 people and destroyed or damaged numerous properties. All the victims of this calamity deserve our compassion and support.
Nothing is more urgent than to help the victims of the disaster.
There is no doubt that rebuilding will be the government's top priority for a long time to come. Therefore, the government should conduct a speedy investigation to classify the damage and take the appropriate action. In certain cases, it should reduce taxes or offer long-term loans without interest. Importantly, the government should actively help those who have lost their houses. Subsidies should be offered if necessary.
