Fires that have burnt through the night are yet to be extinguished as firefighters struggle to reach those in need.

Multiple high-rise apartment fires have killed at least 44 people in Hong Kong, with 279 other people reported missing.

Residents reported hearing a loud bang before the fire.

Bamboo scaffolding surrounding the buildings has fuelled the blazes.
