Funds & Supplies Pour In
Over HK$600 million ($77M+) has been donated by mainland businesses, including tech and logistics giants. Blankets, food, and psychological support are flooding shelters, with state-owned China Merchants Group ensuring seamless delivery via emergency logistics networks. 📦💸
Unity in Crisis
From the All-China Women’s Federation’s 5-million-yuan fund to grassroots fundraising drives, the response highlights cross-strait solidarity. As rescue operations concluded Friday, focus shifts to rebuilding lives—proving even in darkness, hope sparks bright. 💪❤️
