Number of victims of forest fires in Hawaii increased to 96

The number of victims of forest fires on the island of Maui in Hawaii increased to 96 people, reports CNN.

The police reported that they managed to identify only two dead.

In the meantime, the National Center for Elive Autonomous Disasters warned of the approaching tropical storm to the south of the Hawaiian Islands.

The fire that began on the island of Maui on August 9 became the most deadly in the United States for more than 100 years. Due to the strong wind, the fire quickly spread to the historical city of Lahaina, which as a result was completely burned.
