Devastating fire in Maui/ About 100 people lost their lives, the search

Ninety-six people are known to have died in wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui, with officials warning the toll is likely to rise.

Hawaii Governor Josh Green said more than 2,700 buildings were destroyed in the historic town of Lahaina.

Hundreds of people are still missing and search teams have seen only 3% of the affected area.

Jeremy Greenberg, a senior official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), told the BBC that additional support was being sent including urban search and rescue teams, and firefighting teams.

The fires that started Tuesday would be the worst natural disaster Hawaii has ever faced, said Hawaii Governor Josh Green./ CNA
