On Monday's Backchat, we spoke to a church in Hong Kong, that's been offering assistance and care to those affected by the city's deadliest fire in decades.
Since the fire broke out, different sectors of society have joined hands to bolster support for the victims and survivors, including providing them with financial assistance and temporary accommodation.
We found out what this church has been doing, and how it hopes to further expand this act of kindness.
Following that, a charity group, a local think-tank and a property professional discussed the different rehousing options for survivors of the Tai Po inferno.
