The amount of money raised by the fundraising committee for fire victims has exceeded VND132 billion. Out of this total, VND130 billion has already been allocated for distribution to those affected. The remaining VND2.2 billion will be utilized to address various aftermath concerns including environmental cleanup and disease prevention in the vicinity of the fire site.
A number of individuals who managed to escape the fire shared that they were currently residing in alternative accommodations such as rented spaces or with their relatives, as the mini apartment where the incident occurred remains inaccessible.
According to their statement, the individuals mentioned that they planned to utilize the financial assistance to seek alternative housing options due to the compromised safety of the current building's structure.
In mid-September, a devastating fire engulfed the mini apartments situated on Khuong Ha Street in Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi. This tragic incident claimed the lives of 56 individuals and left 37 others injured.
The building's owner has been held in custody for a duration of four months while authorities conduct an ongoing investigation into the incident.
