Christians and churches across Hong Kong have rallied to support those who have lost everything in the fire which engulfed seven apartment blocks killing at least 128 people.
The Anglican Archbishop of Hong Kong Most Rev Andrew Chan has published a prayer for those who have lost loved ones, those who are missing, and the emergency workers responding to the incident. He said in a statement: "In this dark moment in time, many across Hong Kong, coming from different backgrounds, have stepped up and contributed in different ways to alleviate the pain of those affected.
“As fellow children of God, even though we are separated by geographical distances, I ask of you to pray with us in Hong Kong for the mercy and love of our Lord.”
The Hong Kong Anglican Church (the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui) has also set up a disaster fund to help with urgent needs.
The Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong has also issued a prayer saying "We implore the Lord to console all residents and faithful affected by this tragedy, and to grant eternal rest to those who have died." It's also urging parishes to set up a second collection during Mass on 30 November to support the emergency relief through Caritas Hong Kong.
The fire started on Wednesday and spread to several high-rise buildings in the northern district of Tai Po. 200 people are still missing and a search for survivors has ended.
Eight people have been arrested in relation to the cause of the fire.
