Hong Kong’s Worst Fire In Decades: 94 Dead, Hundreds Missing As Rescue Efforts Enter Final Hours |4k

Hong Kong is mourning one of its worst disasters in nearly 80 years after a massive fire tore through the Wang Fuk Court housing complex in Tai Po, killing at least 94 people and leaving hundreds unaccounted for. The blaze engulfed the eight-tower estate—home to more than 4,600 residents—while it was undergoing renovation and wrapped in bamboo scaffolding and mesh, complicating rescue efforts. Firefighters battled throughout the night to contain the flames and navigate smoke-filled corridors, with search operations expected to conclude by 9 a.m. local time. More than 279 people were reported missing early Thursday, a figure that has not been updated for over 24 hours, deepening fear among families waiting outside temporary relief centres. At least 25 emergency calls remain unanswered, including three recent alerts given top priority. Authorities are investigating how renovation materials may have accelerated the catastrophe.
