大埔宏福苑五級火｜義工稱被關愛隊要求離開庇護中心　麥美娟：非受災居民一般不應進入 (18:49) – 20251128 – 港聞 – 即時新聞

本報向現場關愛隊查詢，對方否認曾報警。警方亦稱，大埔警區至今沒有接獲相關報案。 民政及青年事務局長麥美娟傍晚回應說，現時一些庇護中心情况頗混亂，亦有很多並非居民的人士，更令派發一萬元應急錢的工作很困難。她續說，一般庇護中心不會讓工作人員以外的人士進入，以保護中心內居民的安全及私隱；她多次感謝市民熱心捐贈，但強調現時要以災民的福祉為首要考慮。 籲不分彼此、不分立場 至於關愛隊在救災工作的角色，麥美娟稱，關愛隊約340個隊員首日到各庇護中心及醫院支援站提供協助，及後亦在庇護中心繼續為受影響市民提供幫助。她稱，現時庇護中心內現有大量物資，與其花時間整理，首要工作是協助居民獲得短期住宿、證件等，「有物資就『HOLD 一 HOLD』」，又感謝各界眾志成城幫助。 麥續說，社會此時應不分彼此、分工合作，指有些人在幕後協助登記、安排交通，有些負責物資整理及分發，「社會大家應不分彼此，不分立場，大家一齊去幫助受影響居民，每一個都願意喺不同崗位上出一分力。」 義工稱被關愛隊催促離開　下午開始搬走部分物資 多名市民早前在社交平台發起救災行動，呼籲大眾捐贈物資到東昌街體育館，獲積極嚮應。他們早前組成自發隊伍，到體育館協助賑災。一名不願具名的義工表示，救援行動一直暢順，直到今日下午約兩時半，多名關愛隊成員到場要求自發義工團離開，未說明原因，僅稱「政府要take over呢度」；又要求義工團留低早前向民間收集得的物資。 該義工說，關愛隊未有提供接管時間表，僅不斷催促義工離場；同時民政事務署職員、警方及民安隊亦到場。該義工質疑大量物資由民間籌集而成，關愛隊無權要求留低物資；惟考慮到義工團難處理大量物資，加上初衷仍是救災，義工團於下午5時許將部分物資包裝好並送上貨櫃車，記者目測至少載滿一架大型貨車，並留低多箱飲料。義工說，將運送物資到區內其他有需要物資站，以及義工成員的貨倉。 義工說，不反對政府「清場」，指體育館是政府建築物，而長遠賑災亦應由政府負責，惟不理解為何不能事先溝通、做好交接，難免予人「將義工用完即棄」的觀感。 Source link
