The Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Song Pil-ho) announced on the 13th that it will provide mobile temporary housing facilities called 'Hope House' to households that lost their residences due to the fighter jet bombing accident in Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi Province.

The Hope House is 27㎡ (approximately 8 pyeong) in size and consists of a room with storage space, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It features excellent insulation performance, effectively blocking both extreme heat and severe cold. This facility was produced with sponsorship funds from the General Insurance Social Contribution Council.

Hope Bridge also supported 6,720 bottles of drinking water at the site on the 7th, the day after the accident, for volunteers and soldiers involved in the accident response.
