HK Health Department Fails to Offer Halal Food during 40 Hours
Arriving at the Hong Kong Airport from India, Hongkongers of Indian ethnicity spent more than 40 hours waiting before being transferred to the quarantine center.
To make it worse, the Hong Kong authorities failed to provide any halal food, nor to arrange a place for them to rest.
Among them, Asif, who speaks English, called the Department of Heath and request halal food for his wife and daughter; however, a staff of the Department of Health rejected his request.
Asif felt that the frontline staff sent by the govrenment have a language barrier and refuse to communicate. Also, they were not aware of halal food.
Pro-democracy lawmaker Claudia Mo pointed out that the inadequate support and services might involve discrimination.
Yau Tsim Mong District Councillor Leslie Chan called on the Department of Health and the Airport Authority to improve the English level of their frontline staff and provide special food requirement if necessary.
Tuen Mun district councillor Michael Mo Kwan-Tai also expressed concern toward the Airport Authority for out-sourcing tasks. He described the situation was worse than a refugee camp.
