‘It feels complicated’: Wang Fuk Court residents return home to bid last farewell

Nearly five months after a deadly fire, approximately 270 residents of Wang Fuk Court in Hong Kong are returning to their homes on Monday to collect their belongings. The residents, from 78 households in Wang Sun House, will be assisted by over 1,000 deployed staff. The return is being conducted in two phases, with residents on lower floors potentially allowed multiple visits due to less severe damage. Deputy Chief Secretary Warner Cheuk Wing-hing stated that residents could revisit their flats more than once if conditions permit. The purpose of the return is to allow residents to retrieve their possessions from the fire-ravaged building.
