[At least 65 dead and hundreds missing
after fire engulfs Hong Kong tower blocks]

BBC

[Some residents remain trapped inside
the buildings, with more than 270 people unaccounted for,
while 70 people are injured.
Hundreds of firefighters have been tackling the blaze,
which is now largely under control at all
of the affected buildings at Wang Fuk Court.

The housing complex had been undergoing
extensive renovations when the fire began.

The exact cause is unclear but police say materials
on outside of the buildings may have facilitated its spread.
Three construction company executives have
been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and
gross negligence.]

It is getting worse

Sky News just said around 300 are missing



Also from the Guardian:

[The death tolls from the blaze,
which tore apart seven of the eight
high-rise apartment buildings in
Wang Fuk Court, a residential compound home
to 4,800 people, has risen to 75.

Hundreds of people are still missing.

But as firefighters work to bring the
fire under control and make progress with
rescue efforts, anger is already swelling
among Hongkongers about the causes of the fire.]
