Family of Indonesian woman killed in Hong Kong apartment blaze awaits repatriation

"Tragedy struck a family in Ponorogo after Dina Martiana, an Indonesian migrant worker, died in a high-rise apartment fire in Hong Kong. Footage filmed on Sunday shows mourners arriving at Martiana's family home to offer condolences to loved ones. "Yesterday at 12:00 noon, she [Martiana's younger sister] received a phone call, but I picked it up [...] I was informed that Ms. Dina had been found dead [...] based on the data and evidence at the location," said Riko Andi, the victim's younger brother. Andi shared that Martiana's employment agency told the family that she had been unable to escape because heavy smoke filled the stairwell. "The agency said she was trapped in the room. She couldn't go down the stairs because smoke was rising from below. So the only option was to stay in the room," he explained. Martiana leaves behind a husband and a child who is still in junior high school. The victim's younger sister said that the Indonesian Embassy in Hong Kong contacted the family to confirm her death. The family is now waiting for Martiana's remains to be repatriated so she can be buried in her hometown of Ponorogo. On Wednesday, a massive blaze broke out at Wang Fuk Court in Hong Kong and continued to burn for more than 20 hours. Authorities confirmed 128 deaths, including 89 victims who had yet to be identified, while about 200 people remained missing."
