Missing Person's Daughter Tearfully Appeals: "Hyunsan, Turtle-Paced Rescue"
Gwangju Collapse Accident... "Promised Support for Necessary Rescue Equipment but Only Pretended"
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] Amid difficulties in rescue operations at the collapsed Hyundai Industrial Development apartment site in Hwajeong-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, a plea posted on social media by the daughter of a missing person is drawing sympathy.
A, who identified herself as the daughter of one of the missing persons, posted a heartfelt message on her SNS on the 15th, appealing for public attention to the rescue efforts.
A said, "Hyundai Industrial Development is at fault, but they have not provided the necessary equipment support for the rescue operations, causing continuous delays, and the missing persons are still trapped, shivering in the cold."
She added, "The rescue workers are exposed to danger and risking their lives during the operations," and criticized, "Hyundai Industrial Development only keeps telling families they will provide maximum support, but in reality, they are not supplying the equipment or safety nets needed for the rescue."
A expressed frustration, saying, "Basic support is not even provided to the equipment operators, so the rescue has been postponed until next Friday. There are two collapsed sections. We do not even know which of the two places the missing persons are in, and it is uncertain when the rescue will happen?it could take a month."

Please spread this widely."
