Interior Minister Liu Shyh-fang says the government has disbanded a rescue team that was on standby to travel to Myanmar following last Friday's magnitude 7.7 earthquake.
According to Liu, her office made the decision after considering the continuing military conflict between Myanmar's military junta and local rebel groups over the past few days despite the strong earthquake.
Liu told reporters the government would be unable to guarantee the safety of rescue team members once they arrive there and decided to take team members off standby (支援) and allow them to return to their regular operations in

The rescue teams had been on standby since late Friday.
