At least 13 people have been killed and 15 have been injured in a major fire which has engulfed apartment blocks in the Tai Po district of Hong Kong.
More than 700 firefighters were sent to the scene to tackle the fire at Wang Fuk Court – which houses about 4,600 residents.
The government has paid tribute to a 37-year-old firefighter who died fighting the blaze, describing him as "dedicated and gallant".
Residents are asking for help from local authorities after losing contact with relatives inside the buildings, a local councillor told the BBC.
