Taiwan said it would offer humanitarian assistance to Hong Kong protesters who arrive in Taiwan, a day after intensified violence in the city left 13 people injured, including one woman shot in the eye with a pellet round.
During the unrest on Sunday, marking the tenth straight weekend of protests, Hong Kong police fired tear gas inside a subway station and shot rubber bullets and pepper pellets at protesters at close range. In one case, a female medic was hospitalized after being shot in the eye with a pellet round.
