The aftermath of Typhoon Khanun has wreaked havoc on Taiwan’s mountainous regions, as torrential rains triggered floods and landslides, disrupting transportation links and stranding hundreds of people. Despite the challenging conditions, authorities are working tirelessly to resume normalcy and assist those in need.
The central county of Nantou bore the brunt of the intense rains, with more than 1 meter (3 feet) of rainfall soaking Renai Township since the typhoon grazed past northern Taiwan on Thursday. The deluge has shattered roads and triggered multiple landslides and mudslides, wreaking havoc on the region’s infrastructure.
