Relief provided to landslip victims
The Southern and Eastern district offices are actively assisting victims of the two major landslides at Aberdeen and Chai Wan, a spokesman for the Home Affairs Department spokesman said today (Tuesday).
"They are also busy at co-ordinating the work of concerned departments to bring the affected disaster areas back to normal," the spokesman added.
Earlier, a cash relief of $5,000 was given by Eastern District Office to the family of the boy who was killed in the landslide which occured last Saturday at Fei Tsui Road, Chai Wan. The cash assistance was made available from the General Chinese Charities Fund.
The acting Eastern District Officer, Miss Shirley Yuen, said her staff had contacted the bereaved family following the tragedy.
"We have referred their case to the Social Welfare Department which has agreed to pay them $9,000 for the funeral service. We have also assured them that they can approach us any time if they require further assistance," Miss Yuen said.
As regard the Chai Wan Baptist Church which has been badly damaged by the landslip, arrangements have been made for temporary reprovision of premises to enable the Church to run its nursery and kindergarten in a vacated kindergarten in Siu Sai Wan Estate.
In addition, the Church is also given two rooms in Hing Wah Community Hall to continue its after-school care service for primary pupils.
