Read our privacy policy Dozens of people have been injured in Taiwan after typhoon Haikui moved across the island and unleashed torrential downpours, uprooted trees and forced thousands to evacuate in the region that has been left without electricity. While there have been no reports of deaths or structural damage yet, at least 40 people were left injured from the falling debris in the first typhoon to directly hit Taiwan for the first time in four years, reported the BBC. People hold umbrellas while walking on the street in the rain in Keelung after Typhoon Haikui hits Taiwan on 4 September 2023 Taiwan airlines cancelled 208 domestic flights, leaving just a handful scheduled, while ferry services to surrounding islands were suspended. By Monday, Haikui had entered the Taiwan Strait, heading for China, Taiwan’s weather authorities said, though it will continue to bring heavy rain across the island into the middle of the week.
