displaced

Reminiscent of London’s Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, the scale of loss is among the worst in Hong Kong in recent memory, leaving entire families displaced or grieving.

The displaced Poles were in turn resettled in Silesia, a region on the border of Czechoslovakia that had formerly belonged to Germany.

The Hong Kong government has also set up shelters and support centres for displaced residents.

For the residents of the El Miskin camp for internally displaced persons, on the outskirts of town, there is no "business, no farmland, no proper living conditions, no schools", said camp chairman Hashim El Miskin.

Afterward, many residents were displaced, with many moving to other neighborhoods on the Westside.
