Today, November 28, 2025, in HKSAR, the Fire Services Department confirmed that firefighting operations at the Wang Fuk Court complex are complete after a tragic blaze that claimed at least 128 lives—and the number may still rise. 💔
A local charity has sprung into action, opening three temporary shelters in Tai Po District. These community halls now offer cots, hot noodles, and free Wi-Fi. 📶🍜 Residents of HKSAR can also visit street booths—pop-up aid stations—where they can drop off essentials like blankets, toiletries, and bottled water. 💧🧣
Social workers Clara Chan and Rahul Singh, interviewed by CGTN, have been on the ground non-stop. “We wanted a space where survivors feel secure,” says Clara. “Our booths also run volunteer shifts via WhatsApp groups and QR-code sign-ups to make it super easy for anyone to help.” 😊
Rahul adds, “Survivors can recharge their phones, grab a hot drink, and get info on longer-term support—whether it’s counselling or finding temporary housing. It’s about rebuilding hope, one chat at a time.” ☕📱
If you’re in Tai Po, head to the main street near Tai Po Market MTR station to donate or volunteer. Not nearby? Follow the charity’s Telegram channel for updates and virtual ways to contribute—every little bit counts. 🙌
This community spirit shows that even in tough times, solidarity sparks real change. Keep donating, sharing updates, and looking out for each other. Together, we’ve got this. 💪
