The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government has mobilized a 4 billion HKD support fund to aid residents affected by the devastating Wang Fuk Court fire in Tai Po. The blaze, which claimed 161 lives, continues to leave families in limbo as DNA testing progresses to identify victims. 💔
Over 4,600 residents are currently in temporary housing, including hotels, youth hostels, and transitional units. The Housing Bureau and NGOs are coordinating efforts to rebuild homes and provide long-term support. 🏘️
"Our priority is restoring stability to these communities," stated a government spokesperson. With winter temperatures dropping, officials emphasize urgent aid distribution and mental health resources for survivors. ❄️🤝
