Authorities in Hong Kong have announced that the death toll is currently 146 after the devastating fire that ravaged several residential buildings on Wednesday.

After rescue workers found more bodies, the death toll in the fire is now 146. At the same time, around a hundred people are still missing, so the number will likely increase.

The fire broke out on Wednesday in a bamboo scaffolding at one of the apartment buildings. The fire quickly spread to the adjacent buildings in the complex, with devastating consequences.
