MSF apologizes for not securing all waste

MSF apologizes for "failure to ensure that all waste and products are properly disposed of."

Its spokesperson told HKFP that it has arranged in advance for the authorities to use it under certain public health conditions, such as placing trash cans close to competitors. It said that even so, the functional contractor did not dispose of garbage in the designated area.

It explained: “This allows individuals who are definitely not our staff or even contractors to carry rifles and then spread the products on the aisles.” “We apologize for the inconvenience caused to community residents.”

Four cases were passed by msf hong kong police, but no one in the SAR was known to have sent money to the scammers. An investigation is now being run from Western District police station.

Regarding the dumping of drinking water, the spokesperson explained that MSF uses drinking stations instead of distributing bottled drinking water. However, this means that water providers will only recycle empty water bottles, so the team needs to remove unused drinking water.

It said: "Through years of work experience, we will find the largest solution to maximize the use of surplus drinking water."

msf hong kong started an operation soon after the COVID-19 outbreak started in the city in late January.

The spokesperson added that it is best to minimize the impact on local communities. It said this requires the ferry organization to extend the frequency of ferry to every 10-15 minutes throughout the peak hours, and the normal waiting time is about 20 minutes.

It acknowledged that despite several steps, Lamma people may still be affected by this incident. It explained that it wanted to reduce the impact of long-term events on local communities.
