Wildfires are still burning and firefighters are working to bring them under control. These pictures are from the us national guard. We also know that hawaiians are Donating Supplies to be sent to the worst affected areas. Locals on the island of maui say much more help is needed though. Hawaiis governor gave this update earlier. It is a harrowing sight in maui. When those providers, the police in this division, do come across scenes in houses or businesses, its very difficult for them because they know ultimately theyll be sharing with our people that there have been more fatalities. I do expect the numbers to rise. Questions are being asked now about whether hawaiis Early Warning system worked properly. The states Attorney General is conducting a comprehensive review of what happened. Our Correspondent, sophie long, sent this report from maui. The fire left more than a city devastated, and charred black buildings behind. Existential questions hover above the emptiness. How can you re

Now here at this harbour today, weve met volunteers who have been taking their boats, packing their boats with aid, trying to get over to lahaina to distribute much needed humanitarian aid.

And, speaking to everyone, you get the sense that people are traumatised here. Many people from lahaina in particular have lost absolutely everything but, because their humanitarian needs are so great, theyre barely able to process the loss. Theyre barely able to grieve when essentially they are sleeping out in the open in some cases when they have such dire humanitarian needs. There are other concerns about the weather.
