Overseas Network, August 15th FoxnewsNetease reported on the 14th that Hawaii Governor Josh Green confirmed that the wildfire in Maui, Hawaii has killed nearly 100 people, and there may be more deaths in the next few days.

Green said that more than 400 local officials are cooperating in post-disaster relief work. Rescuers find 10 to 20 people a day in the ash-burned neighborhood. “At present, 96 people have been confirmed dead in wildfires, and this figure may continue to rise.” With the restoration of mobile phone communication services, the number of missing people has dropped from more than 2,000 to 1,300.

Fox News stated that the Maui fire in Hawaii is the deadliest fire in the United States in more than a century. Lahaina, Maui has been razed to the ground by fires that have nearly destroyed all buildings in the town of 13,000. Although the fire has subsided, local authorities say toxic smoke remains and many people have been left homeless. As the death toll rose, locals began to blame the government for its ineffective response to the massive fires. (Wang Shanning, Overseas Network)
