Sinkai, Taiwan, August 17, 2009--Soldiers smell the ground to detect bodies of flash flood victims after Typhoon Morakot inundated the southern village of Sinkai.

About 14,000 people from the storm-stricken region have been rescued, but hundreds more are feared dead in what experts call Taiwan's worst flooding in 50 years, the Guardian newspaper reported.
