Switzerland will provide a one-time payment of 50,000 Swiss francs to the survivors and families affected by the New Year bar fire in Crans-Montana, which claimed 41 lives and injured 115 others. The fire was reportedly caused by sparkling candles igniting foam soundproofing in the bar’s basement. The Swiss government aims to offer financial aid and support to the victims and their families, as well as facilitate out-of-court settlements to avoid lengthy legal battles. It also plans to allocate funds to help affected cantons cover the significant costs incurred.
