People poured in to seek asylum one after another, and the center accepted them, and at the same time continued to distribute food to people in need.

The Taiwan Center also updated the situation inside the institution. The temperature was 4 degrees Celsius. Some babies could only sleep on the table. Because of the continuous aftershocks, the residents did not dare to go home and came to seek shelter from the Taiwan Center.

I hope all walks of life will pray together.
