Rescuers pulled two survivors from the rubble of a Taiwan apartment block Monday, more than 48 hours after it was toppled by an earthquake, but the mayor of the southern city of Tainan warned the death toll was likely to exceed 100.

The official death toll from the quake rose to 38, with more than 100 people missing.

The quake struck at about 4 a.m. Saturday at the beginning of the Lunar New Year holiday, with almost all the dead found in the toppled Wei-guan Golden Dragon Building in Tainan.
