BEIJING , China ( CNN ) -- The wrath of Typhoon Morakot has affected nearly 9 million people across four coastal China provinces and killed dozens in Taiwan , officials said Tuesday . A rescue worker carries a child on Tuesday who survived flooding in southern Taiwan . The typhoon , which stormed through the Philippines and Taiwan before slamming into eastern China over the weekend , has forced more than 1.4 million people to relocate on the mainland , China 's Ministry of Civil Affairs said . At least six people -- four of them in Zhejiang province -- were killed along the coast , and more than 6,000 homes were destroyed . In Taiwan , Morakot was blamed for at least 38 deaths , 35 injuries and 62 missing people , said Yu-Chu Liang , a senior official with Taiwan 's National Disasters Prevention and Protection Commission . The village of Siaolin was one of several engulfed by flooding and mudslides in southern Taiwan 's Kaohsiung County over the weekend , Taiwan 's Central News Agency reported . Villagers rescued from a massive mudslide in Siaolin said at least 300 others were feared trapped beneath debris , state-run media reported Tuesday . Liang could n't confirm that figure , but said officials thought that more than 100 people were buried alive . Helicopters plucked more than 60 survivors from Siaolin and headed back for 150 more people still struggling through the debris , he said . The mudslide buried roadways and cut water and electric supplies , Liang added . Morakot caused the worst flooding in decades in Taiwan -- where floodwaters as high as 7 feet were reported , China Daily said . The village of Siaolin was just one of several engulfed by flooding and mudslides in southern Taiwan 's Kaohsiung County since Morakot arrived over the weekend , Taiwan 's Central News Agency reported . `` The most pressing needs now are providing shelter , food and clean water for those who have had to evacuate their homes , '' said Hank Du , executive director for the humanitarian group World Vision in Taiwan . `` We also want to make sure the children are secure and have a safe place where they are cared for . '' The group has started to distribute food , cleaning supplies , raincoats , flashlights and other supplies to those displaced in several Taiwanese communities . `` Many of the affected live in remote areas , and the roads are in bad condition . Highways and bridges are flooded and blocked by mudslides , fallen trees and other large debris , '' said Wesley Chen of World Vision . `` For those who ca n't reach shelters , we are working to find ways to bring aid to them . '' Morakot-linked mudslides also have spilled into provincial eastern China , crushing homes and burying people in their path . In one coastal town , a massive mudslide crushed a half-dozen buildings and buried an unknown number of people , the Xinhua news agency reported Tuesday . The mudslide occurred about 10:30 p.m. Monday in Pengxi township in Zhejiang province -- one of eastern China 's regions hardest hit by Morakot , Xinhua reported , citing local authorities . The incident destroyed four-story apartment buildings standing at the foot of a mountain . Rescuers pulled six survivors from the debris ; one was in critical condition , according to Xinhua . However , it was n't clear how many others were buried , and rescuers were hindered by huge piles of mud and rock . The storm made landfall in the coastal area of Beibi town , Xiapu county , in Fujian province , about 4:20 p.m. Sunday ( 4:20 a.m. Sunday ET ) , according to Xinhua . Morakot 's winds were clocked at 118 kilometers per hour ( 73 mph ) in its eye , according to the province 's meteorological bureau .
