Emergency Appeal: OSC Fire Disaster Support 

A devastating fire has ripped through Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, engulfing multiple residential blocks and affecting many families — including residents who have suffered loss of life or are currently missing.

Your immediate support is vital. Operation Santa Claus (OSC), jointly established by SCMP and RTHK, is coordinating and distributing funds for disaster relief and community support. All donations to OSC, without any deduction of administration expenses, will be distributed to verified NGO and community partners. Donations will be processed through SCMP Charities Limited, a tax-exempt charitable institute under section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (File No.: 91/7320). Details will be updated on the designated donation page. 

You can donate to OSC via the donation page: https://oschk.org/fundraiser/?f=taipofireemergency. 

Every contribution, big or small, will offer critical relief and a lifeline to a family in need. 

To assist victims affected by the fire tragedy, the HKSAR Government has also announced that it will inject HK$300 million into an emergency relief fund and has begun accepting public donations. [Read more]
