Death Toll Rises to 110 from Wildfires in Hawaii's Maui Island

The death toll from wildfires in Hawaii's Maui Island has reached 110, according to reports from Nexta Live. The identification process is slow as many bodies are nearly completely charred.

The wildfire that erupted in the Hawaiian state is considered the deadliest in the last 100 years. It is notable that the wildfires in Maui and the Big Island began due to dry and hot weather conditions and spread rapidly due to strong winds brought by Hurricane Dora. Some fire fronts have reached 400 hectares in size.

The blaze has destroyed several communities, including the tourist-popular town of Lahaina. Hundreds of people have been evacuated. President Joe Biden has ordered all federal entities in Hawaii, including military resources, to assist in combating the fires.
