At least 36 people have been killed after a fire spread across multiple high-rise apartment buildings in a Hong Kong housing complex, according to Hong Kong’s chief executive. Seven of the eight buildings in the complex, home to a large population of elderly residents, are still ablaze.
Firefighters are still unable to reach some residents trapped on higher floors but have vowed to keep trying. Officials said 279 people are “uncontactable.” Meanwhile, 29 people remain hospitalized, with 7 in critical condition, officials said.
Hong Kong’s leader John Lee called Wednesday’s fire “a major disaster.”
Speaking to reporters in the early hours of Thursday, Lee said some signs of fire were still visible at four of the seven apartment buildings that caught fire Wednesday.
He said about 900 residents affected by the fire have sought refuge in temporary shelters.
More than 700 residents living in the Hong Kong apartment complex that caught fire on Wednesday have been evacuated to temporary shelters.
Wang Fuk Court, the public housing estate that went aflame, consists of eight high-rise towers and ome to more than 4,000 people. Many of the residents are pensioners, with roughly 36% of residents 65 or older, according to government-sourced data.
All eight towers have at least 31 stories, providing almost 2,000 residential units, according to Centaline Property Agency.

Nearly 2 million people in southern China were evacuated as a powerful typhoon hurtled into one of the world’s most densely populated coasts, having already unleashed deadly flooding in Taiwan.
It began to lose strength and was downgraded to a severe tropical storm in the early hours of Thursday morning, local time, but not before leaving a trail of damage – triggering landslides, flooding and huge waves in China’s Guangdong province, home to massive cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
With the storm expected to keep moving westward on Thursday, some train services in southern China have been suspended, while the country’s central government has earmarked around $49 million for relief efforts, according to state media.
Schools, factories and transport services were initially shut down in about a dozen cities, but some distant from the landfall location prepared to resume work as winds weakened.
In Taiwan, at least 14 people died and 31 others were still missing Thursday after a natural dam holding back a recently formed lake collapsed a day earlier, unleashing 68 million tons of water and flooding the nearby Guangfu township. Officials had revised the death toll down on Thursday, saying there had been some double counting in earlier numbers provided.
Videos from the town, in the mountainous eastern Hualien county, show a torrent of water rushing through the streets, with cars swept away and residents sheltering on higher floors as the lower levels of their homes become inundated.
Debris from a landslide in July had formed the natural dam, and authorities had been warning for weeks the remote lake could overflow by October. At a news conference on Wednesday, officials said assessments showed it wasn’t feasible to dredge, siphon or otherwise remove the dam barrier - so they opted to monitor the situation instead.
Before Ragasa hit, authorities said they had issued multiple warnings and evacuation advisories to residents who could be impacted if the lake overflowed.
A large bridge in Hualien was also washed away by the rush of water following the collapse of the natural dam.
Ragasa is expected to continue to deteriorate over China, bringing heavy rain, and ultimately dissipate over Vietnam on Friday.

Heavy storms kill 11 people and leave 14 people missing, while causing more than $1 billion in damages. State broadcaster CCTV said an officer who was trying to save lives was one of the people who died in the city of Huludao in Liaoning province. Rescuers were still trying to find the people who went missing during the “historically rare” destructive rainfall, it said. An image from the broadcaster showed roads seriously flooded. According to preliminary estimates, 188,800 people were affected by the natural disaster, with losses amounting to 10.3 billion yuan (about $1.4 billion), officials announced. A large number of roads, bridges and cables were damaged.
CCTV said the maximum daily rainfall recorded was 52.8 centimeters (nearly 21 inches), breaking the provincial record. The hardest-hit parts of the city experienced a year’s worth of rain in just half a day, and overall, it was the strongest rainfall in Huludao since meteorological records began in 1951, it said. China was in the middle of its peak flood season over the past month. Chinese policymakers have repeatedly warned that the government needs to step up disaster preparations as severe weather becomes more common. Landslides and flooding have killed more than 150 people around China in the past two months as torrential rainstorms battered the region.

Typhoon Gaemi has made landfall in mainland China after wreaking havoc in Taiwan and the Philippines.
More than 150,000 people living in the south-eastern Chinese province of Fujan have been relocated to safer areas in anticipation of the storm.
It comes after widespread flooding and landslides across Taiwan and the Philippines, killing at least 21 people.
The Philippines says it is "racing against time" to contain an oil spill after a tanker carrying 1.5 million litres of industrial fuel capsized and sank off of the country's coast.
The ship was one of two which sank in the region on Thursday, with the second going down just off Taiwan's south-western coast.
China activated its highest-tier disaster warning as the storm made its way to its shores on Thursday evening local time.
Train services have been suspended in Fujan, while authorities in northern China have warned heavy rains could trigger landslides and flooding.
Meanwhile, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters says there is a "high risk" of natural disasters.
China is experiencing a summer of extremely changeable weather, with heavy downpours in the east and south and scorching heatwaves in the north.
A clean-up operation is currently taking place in Taiwan following the typhoon - the largest to have struck the island in eight years but only the first of this year's storm season.
Taiwan’s meteorological office said several areas of the island received more than 1000mm of rainfall between Wednesday night and Thursday lunchtime, while the southern city of Kaohsuing recorded 1350mm of rain.
It left large areas of the city under more than a metre of flood water and three people were killed.
A search and rescue operation is underway to find the remaining six Burmese sailors who were reported missing after their Tanzania-flagged cargo ship Fu Shun went down off the northern coast of Taiwan.
Three crew members have been rescued so far, but high winds and choppy seas are hampering rescue efforts, officials have said.
Five other cargo ships have been run aground close to the island.
Despite avoiding a direct hit by the storm, Typhoon Gaemi had intensified seasonal monsoon rains by the time it hit the Philippines, causing widespread flooding in Manila.
The storm caused the MT Terra Nova, a tanker that was heading to the Philippine city of Iloilo, to sink with 17 crew members on board.
The Philippine coast guard said it found the body of one missing crew member, and 16 others were rescued.
A huge operation is now underway to manage an oil spill which could be the worst in the country's history if not properly contained.
The coast guard has detected an oil slick stretching to about four kilometres, describing it as "enormous".
Rear Admiral Armando Balilo said the spill would "definitely affect the marine environment".
Manila Bay, where the tanker capsized, hosts busy shipping lanes and its shores are home to shopping malls, casino resorts and fishing communities.
Experts said that under ordinary circumstances officials would immediately deploy booms, or temporary floating barriers, to limit how far the spill can spread - but the bad weather has delayed these efforts.

Multiple days of heavy rains have lashed southern China, unleashed deadly floods and threatening to upend the lives of tens of millions of people as rescuers rush to evacuate residents trapped by rising waters.
Guangdong province, an economic powerhouse home to 127 million people, has seen widespread flooding that has forced more than 110,000 people to be relocated, state media reported, citing the local government.
The floods have killed at least four people in Guangdong, including a rescue worker, state news agency Xinhua reported Monday. At least 10 people remain missing, it added.
Since April 16, sustained torrential rains have pounded the Pearl River Delta, China’s manufacturing heartland and one of the country’s most populated regions, with four weather stations in Guangdong registering record rainfall for April.
The Pearl River basin is subject to annual flooding from April to September, but the region has faced more intense rainstorms and severe floods in recent years as scientists warn that the climate crisis will amplify extreme weather, making it deadlier and more frequent.
“Judging from the flood control situation in recent years, climate warming and temperature rise have intensified, and extreme heavy rainfall occurs every year, leading to torrential rains and floods,” Yin Zhiije, chief hydrological forecaster at the Ministry of Water Resources, told state-run outlet The Paper.
Last year, China encountered “more intense and extreme” downpours during the flood season than in previous years, with 72 national weather stations registering record daily rainfall and 346 stations breaking monthly records, according to the China Meteorological Administration.
Since last week, at least 44 rivers in the Pearl River basin have swelled above the warning line, threatening to burst their banks, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
On the Bei River, which flows into the Pearl River, authorities have warned of a “once a century” flood expected to reach 5.8 meters (19 feet) above the warning limit. The tributary had already burst its banks on April 8, marking the earliest arrival of its annual flood season since records began in 1998, according to Guangdong authorities.
The “massive flood” at the Bei River is the earliest on record to hit China in the highest category of a four-tier classification system, according to Yin, the forecaster. Floods of this magnitude usually occur after late June, he said.
Aerial footage aired by CCTV on the weekend showed villages inundated by murky flood waters, with only roofs and treetops visible in some places.
In Guangning county, Zhaoqing city, footage shared by residents on short video app Douyin shows muddy brown water gushing through village streets and sweeping away cars. In Shaoguan, a man is seen pushing his scooter through shoulder-high flood waters. And in Qingyuan city, social media footage shows strong gales and rain felling trees and flipping over motorcycles.
The heavy downpours have also triggered landslides near Shaoguan city in the province’s mountainous north, injuring six people, according to Xinhua.
Authorities raised the flood control emergency response for the Pearl River Delta to level 2 on Sunday – the second highest in a four-tier system.
Many cities have suspended schools and hundreds of flights have been canceled in the metropolises of Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
More than 80 houses have either collapsed or been severely damaged, resulting in a direct economic loss of nearly 140 million yuan ($20 million), Xinhua reported.
Further heavy rainfall is expected to hit Guangdong this week, according to the province’s Meteorological Bureau.
