Hong Kong residents scramble to deliver aid, support after deadly fire

HONG KONG: Hundreds of volunteers are rushing to deliver emergency supplies to victims of Hong Kong’s worst fire in nearly 80 years, sorting and distributing items from diapers to hot food and offering free counselling. Emergency workers searched on Friday for survivors and victims as scores of people are still missing after fire engulfed the Wang Fuk Court housing complex in the northern district of Tai Po, killing at least 94. Volunteers have formed teams to collect donations and supplies, organize transport and distribution of goods as well as staff day and night shifts in the aid effort.
