The dust explosion at Formosa Fun Coast injured nearly 500 people and is one of Taiwan’s worst disasters in recent years. Enormous expenses will be required for the treatment and rehabilitation of the injured, and rehabilitation will be a very long journey for the injured. To help with expenses for the future treatment, rehabilitation, and lives of the injured and for social reconstruction, the MOHW plans to accept donations from citizens for a period of one month starting on July 1. Considering that the money or items donated to the New Taipei City Government will all be used to help with the medical expenses for the injured, the funds raised by the MOHW will be handed over to the New Taipei City Government in principle for it to utilize so as to avoid redundant resources.
