The death toll from the devastating wildfires in Maui, Hawaii, has risen to 99, as authorities continue to search for human remains. The inferno, which has been the deadliest wildfire in the US in a century, has caused significant destruction, particularly in the coastal town of Lahaina. Governor Josh Green has revealed that around $5.6 billion worth of damage has occurred in Lahaina alone. The fire’s intensity has complicated the identification of human remains, and authorities are urging those with missing relatives to provide DNA samples to aid the process. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, while questions about preparedness for such catastrophes persist.
