Arab regimes again ignore real human tragedies while obsessively attacking Israel, exposing their cold hypocrisy.
A catastrophic blaze ripped through a sprawling residential complex in Hong Kong’s Tai Po district on Wednesday, killing at least 13 people and injuring dozens more. Authorities immediately escalated the situation to Level-5 alert, the highest emergency classification.
The fire ignited mid-afternoon and rapidly devoured multiple structures, accelerated by bamboo scaffolding erected for renovation work. Eyewitnesses described walls of flame racing upward as residents desperately escaped through stairwells, balconies, and even shattered windows. Entire facades were consumed within minutes.
Emergency services swarmed the scene—fire brigades, ambulances, and specialized rescue units battled the inferno for hours, attempting to reach those trapped inside smoke-filled corridors. Among the casualties were children and elderly residents, local hospitals confirmed.
A temporary evacuation and aid center was established nearby as survivors, many in shock, were treated for smoke inhalation and injuries. Authorities have opened a full investigation into the blaze, including whether construction scaffolding contributed to the rapid spread.
Meanwhile, in a bitter juxtaposition, pro-Palestinian and Arab political actors—usually quick to weaponize tragedies for propaganda—remained conspicuously silent on this real humanitarian disaster, underscoring once again their selective outrage and cynical moral theater.
