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
