Soldiers carry the body of a flood victim in the mudslide affected village of Sinkai following Typhoon Morakot in Kaohsiung county, southern Taiwan August 15, 2009. Taiwan leaders, already under fire over the response to a typhoon that likely killed hundreds, have accepted foreign aid after earlier refusing the offers, officials said on Saturday, as President Ma Ying-jeou apologised.
