Fire in Crans-Montana, Switzerland

Switzerland is deeply shocked by the tragic fire in Crans-Montana on New Year's Eve. Following this tragedy, our thoughts are with the families and friends of the victims, with all those who are still waiting for news about their loved ones, and with the emergency services in Switzerland who are working tirelessly.

Switzerland would like to thank all countries for their expressions of condolence and solidarity. Switzerland is also grateful for the support and assistance provided by various governments in admitting injured persons to hospitals and establishing contact with the families of victims abroad.
