Help is desperately needed in Hawaii after the deadliest US wildfire in more than 100 years burned out of control across the Big Island and Maui.
Strong winds associated with Hurricane Dora fanned the flames, knocking out local communication and destroying thousands of homes and historic buildings, including Lahaina, the popular Maui tourist destination and former capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Thousands have evacuated or been displaced and more than 100 people have been killed, including seniors and children. Hundreds are still missing. Search and recovery efforts are still ongoing, but local officials expect the death toll will likely rise as crews sift through more of the rubble.
