- Families of foreign domestic workers who died in the Tai Po fire will receive compensation and financial aid totaling nearly HK$800,000.
- Injured workers receive one-time payments of HK$50,000 or HK$100,000, while survivors get HK$20,000 plus an Octopus card loaded with HK$2,000.
- Ten migrant workers died in the fire, with 235 foreign domestic helpers employed at the estate at the time of the incident.
- The Hong Kong government is coordinating with Philippine and Indonesian consulates to ensure aid reaches the rightful beneficiaries.
The key is to make sure that only the genuine family members are eligible to claim the financial assistance for those helpers who died in the incident. Rest assured, we will work closely with the [consulates] to make sure that the money is distributed to the right people. I think this is very important.— Hong Kong Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun at a press conference.
