Seoul: The government plans to begin trial operations of an online portal to offer support for the families of victims of the Jeju Air plane crash at Muan International Airport late last year, according to officials Tuesday. The initiative aims to provide centralized information and improve communication between the authorities and the bereaved families.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the portal, accessible at 1229familysupport.kr, will offer comprehensive information on government support measures. It has been developed in consultation with the victims' family group through multiple rounds of discussions to ensure it meets the families' needs effectively.
The online platform will include details on special legislation designed to support the families and outline the role of the government's special support task force. The portal is set to operate on a trial basis for three months, with an official launch scheduled for October.
"We hope the portal will improve access to information for the bereaved families and help enhance communication with the government," a ministry official stated, emphasizing the importance of this resource for those affected by the tragedy.
