The interior ministry also opened two accounts yesterday to accept donations from the public for victims of the flooding.

The Buddha’s Light International Association donated NT$35 million (US$1 million) to the relief efforts.

Donors can remit funds to the interior ministry’s special account at the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) (No. 269981) or the ministry’s Post Office account (No. 19595889), Lin said.
