The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that it has launched a dedicated website (1029itaewondisaster.go.kr) gathering information on victim support and memorial projects ahead of the 4th anniversary of the October 29 Itaewon disaster.
The website allows users to check essential information for bereaved families and victims, such as eligibility criteria, procedures, and required documents for victim support, as well as the progress of memorial projects and event schedules.
Users can also utilize a one-on-one customized service where they can submit related inquiries and receive answers from staff in charge.
In addition, a shared communication space for bereaved families and victims to exchange views together, as well as dedicated communication spaces for bereaved families and victims respectively, have been established.
The website is also provided in five languages—English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Persian—to ensure accessibility for foreign bereaved families and victims.
Shin Gi-dong, head of the 10·29 Itaewon Disaster Victim Relief and Memorial Support Headquarters, said, "We hope this will help bereaved families and victims more easily resolve questions and communicate, thereby healing the pain of the disaster and aiding in their recovery of daily life."
