Hong Kong residents on Saturday laid flowers at the site of a massive fire, in tribute to those who lost their lives in the blaze.

Families with small children, groups of teenagers, couples and elderly people were among those who came to the site to pay their respects.

Hong Kong firefighters have found dozens more bodies in a high-rise complex after a massive fire engulfed seven buildings.

The death toll has risen to 128, with many still unaccounted for.

Authorities said fire alarms in the complex, which housed many older people, did not sound during the fire.

Authorities on Friday arrested eight more people involved in the building's renovation, including scaffolding subcontractors and project managers.

The fire spread rapidly due to bamboo scaffolding and highly flammable foam panels.

Crews have prioritized apartments from which they received emergency calls.

Hong Kong’s deadliest fire in decades has raised questions about corruption and negligence in the renovations of the apartment complex where at least 128 people died.

An intense fire broke out at Wang Fuk Court complex in Hong Kong’s northern suburbs on Wednesday afternoon, with flames covering seven of eight of the towers.

The complex was home to some 4,800 residents, some of whom had raised safety concerns about the renovations more than a year before the fire.
