How did we find out?: We ran a Google reverse image search on the same and came across a report by the Voice of America (VOA) which carried the same viral image. The report was from 7 Februrary 2018.
A 6.4 magnitude earthquake had hit Hualien in Taiwan, killing 17 people and injured 300 people.
Among the majorly damaged structures was a hospital.
The report gave image credits to the Associated Press (AP).
We undertook a relevant keyword search on the AP newsroom editorial photo archives and came across similar images.
Both these images were dated 7 Februrary 2018. They images were described as a residential building that collapsed on its first floor after an earthquake hit Hualien, southern Taiwan.
Conclusion: Clearly, an old image is being shared as recent visuals of the earthquake in Taiwan.
