Deadly Fire in Hong Kong Claims At Least 7 Lives
On Sunday, November 15, 2020, a fire broke out in a 4-storey tenement building on Canton Road near the Jade Market in Hong Kong.
Some media reports called it "the most deadly fire in Hong Kong since 2011". At least four men and three women were killed and at least 10 people were injured. There is at least one child among the casualties.
Carrie Lam said she was "deeply saddened". One day before, the Chief Executive was criticized in a medal ceremony for applausing when the family members of three deceased customs officers were grieving.
