The HKSAR government announced on Thursday that donations to the Wang Fuk Court Support Fund have surpassed HK$2.8 billion (about US$36 million) in just over a week following the Tai Po housing complex fire on November 26.
This rapid fundraising effort reflects broad solidarity from across the Hong Kong region and beyond, channeling vital resources to help residents of Wang Fuk Court rebuild their homes after the devastating blaze.
In response to the evolving needs of affected families, the HKSAR government raised the living subsidy to HK$100,000 per household, offering additional relief for daily expenses as reconstruction plans take shape.
Authorities are working closely with community groups and relief organizations to ensure timely distribution of funds and to support long-term recovery efforts in the Tai Po district.
