Death Toll in Hong Kong Fire Rises to 94 as Indonesian Consulate Visits Survivors

Hong Kong: The Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia (KJRI) in Hong Kong visited the shelters where survivors are staying. The Consulate General visited Indonesian citizens in the shelters.

"The Indonesian Consul General in Hong Kong and a large number of members of the Indonesian Citizen Protection Task Force returned to the fire site to visit our citizens living in several shelters near the scene," said a statement from the Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Yvonne Mewengkang on Friday, November 28, 2025.

"The Task Force also brought food, drink, and other necessary items, not only for our citizens but also for those affected," the statement added.

"The Consulate General continues to coordinate intensively with relevant representatives of the Hong Kong government, NGOs, Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) organizations, and other Indonesian diaspora," the ministry said.

As of this morning, the death toll had reached 94.

There has been no further confirmation of any Indonesian migrant workers who have died or been injured. Two Indonesian migrant workers have died and two others have been injured.

Of the two people being treated, one has been discharged from the hospital and is currently staying with a relative of his employer. The other is in stable condition and awaiting discharge.

Hong Kong authorities said on Friday, November 28, that the fire was almost completely extinguished, and rescue teams were combing the burned-out high-rise buildings for dozens of people still missing.

Early Friday, authorities said the fire had been extinguished in four of the nearly 2,000 units in the sprawling apartment complex, more than 24 hours after the fire broke out in the eight-building complex.

At least 76 people were injured in the fire, including 11 firefighters, a government spokesperson said. Many people remain missing, although the exact number has not been updated since Thursday morning.

Authorities have begun investigating the cause of the fire—the worst in the financial hub in nearly 80 years—including the presence of bamboo scaffolding and plastic netting wrapped around the structure as part of a complex-wide renovation.
