  "abstract": "On the afternoon of 26 November 2025 a fire erupted on a lower floor of Wang Fuk Court, a 32 storey public housing estate in Tai Po, Hong Kong. After just a few minutes, flames spread up the building’s exterior, engulfing seven of eight residential towers within hours and leading to the largest evacuation in the city’s recent history. By the time firefighters brought the blaze under control more than 24 hours later, the disaster had claimed 161 lives and injured 79 others—making it Hong Kong’s deadliest fire since 1948—and left nearly 2000 households displaced.1",
