The death toll from the major fire that tore through a residential area in Hong Kong had risen to 94, as firefighting operation is almost complete, according to the Fire Services Department (FSD) on Friday morning.

The fire broke out in Wang Fuk Court, a residential area in Tai Po of Hong Kong, on Wednesday afternoon.

The FSD was still putting out fire in four units and spraying water on other units to prevent flare-ups, the FSD said in a press briefing early Friday morning.

Firefighters would enter all units in the seven affected buildings to search for trapped residents, said the FSD, adding that the search was expected to be finished by 09:00 Friday.

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government has set up nine emergency shelters for the fire-affected residents.

An outpouring of help and support kept coming to those in need. Donations of food, drinking water and clothes arrived in batches at emergency shelters.

"We came to Tai Po today to distribute supplies to the affected residents. There are cookies, candy, beverages, and soda, as well as cooked meals and fruit. We also brought daily necessities like shoes, socks, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and many other items. Basically, whatever the disaster victims need, we make sure they get it. We feel it's something we absolutely have to do," said a volunteer surnamed Lau.

Wang Fuk Court, an affordable housing complex completed in 1983, houses around 4,000 residents in 1,984 units. When the fire broke out, all eight buildings were encased by green mesh and scaffolding due to a major renovation project. The fire started from one building and spread to six others.
