In the days since the deadly residential building fire in Tai Po, Hong Kong residents have been lining up to donate blood for survivors. Donation centers across the city have seen wait times stretch up to two hours, and some stations are even fully booked as people step up to help. ❤️🩸
“I saw the news and I knew I had to do something,” says 25-year-old university student Li Wei, who waited over 90 minutes at a centre in Kowloon. Local charities and community groups have also mobilized staff and supplies to keep the donation process smooth and safe.
This surge of support comes as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government announced that 144 people previously listed as missing have now been confirmed safe. Relief has swept through families and neighbourhoods, with many donors expressing hope that their contribution will aid the ongoing relief efforts.
From young professionals to retirees, the wave of solidarity highlights the resilience and compassion that define Hong Kong’s community spirit. In moments of crisis, residents continue to show that unity is the city’s strongest asset. 💪✨
