Together with all those affected by the MH370 incident, we understand the need to provide regular updates on the progress of the search and rescue operations.

We however acknowledge that the most affected group in this incident is the families of those on-board. As such, our primary focus at this point in time is to care for the families. This means providing them with timely information, travel facilities, accommodation, meals and emotional support. Initial financial assistance has been given out to all families. Caregivers are already assigned to each family and they are trained staff and volunteers from Malaysia and Australia.
我们承认大部分受失联航班影响的家属来自海外，所以我们的首要任务是为这些家属提供照顾与帮助。对此，我们会提供各个方面的援助，包括信息的及时通知，交通，住宿，食物以及情续安抚方面的工作。我们的工作团队已经分别派往各个家庭开始工作，他们都是来自澳大利亚和马来西亚接受过专业指导的工作人员。
Family members of the MH370 passengers from Beijing who wish to travel will be flown in stages to Kuala Lumpur on the available flights. We are also communicating with the families from other nations to similarly arrange for their travel to Kuala Lumpur.
