Hong Kong mourns - Indonesian Migrant Workers Union holds prayer for victims of deadly apartment blaze

"Hundreds of members of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Union gathered on Sunday to mourn at least seven compatriots killed in the blaze, which destroyed Wang Fuk Court residential complex on Wednesday. Footage shows migrant workers holding prayers and bringing flowers and toys to the makeshift memorial, commemorating the victims. Spokesperson for the Indonesian Migrant Workers Union urged authorities to support survivors who lost their documents in the blaze. "They need a waiver of fees for any replacement of their data," she said. "They are not only working in Hong Kong, but they really sacrificed their lives." "I feel very sad […] many Indonesian friends are lost, their families are lost, and many have not been found," said another mourner. Union leaders called on the Hong Kong government to allow survivors to remain in the city to regain employment. "They are the backbone of their families," said Sahlan, a representative of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Union. The death toll from Hong Kong's deadly high-rise fire has risen to 146, with at least 79 injured, including 12 firefighters, after police completed searches of four of the seven affected buildings. Authorities say a full search of the remaining blocks could take three to four weeks. The blaze, the city's deadliest since 1946, tore through the Wang Fuk Court complex on Wednesday. Eleven suspects have been detained on manslaughter and related charges as investigations into the cause and response continue."
