Maui death toll rises to 99; search for victims continues



Hawaii officials worked painstakingly to identify the 99 people confirmed killed in wildfires that ravaged Maui and expected to release the first names Tuesday, even as teams intensified the search for more dead in neighborhoods reduced to ash.

A week after a blaze tore through historic Lahaina, many who survived have started moving into hundreds of hotel rooms set aside for displaced locals while donations of food, ice, water and other essentials have poured in.

Crews using cadaver dogs have scoured about 25% of the search area, the police chief said Monday. Gov. Josh Green asked for patience and space to do the search properly as authorities became overwhelmed with requests to visit the burn area. KTLA’s Annie Rose Ramos reports from Lahaina on Aug. 15, 2023.

  2. Yea, we need to know what is going on, in order to help Why not government, state reaching out to help? Community is doing all they can as a nation, but still not enough. Seems like a biblical era we are living here.

  3. Why are you sending people to Hawaii, They have hardly any resources as it is. Let national news and Hawaiians tell us the story. You don't need to send someone for out of the way to tell us about a whole other state. This is supposed to be local news.

  5. Why isn’t the military delivering those much needed supplies and set up generators and water supplies? We do it for other countries? Biden Admin needs to step it up and help Hawaii.

  6. There will be no objective or honest investigation. New Yorker Josh Green will work with his developer friends and bring Disney to Lahaina. He has already used the police chief, who is also a New Yorker, to run off mainland reporters so they can't offer any unbiased info to the rest of the country. The fires were the result of extreme negligence in mismanaging the wild-lands by stopping farming and allowing vegetation to grow out of control. This was the work of DLNR Chair Dawn Chang, a Josh Green appointee. The power company did not protect anyone when they left the lines energized in a major storm. Back up generators to pump water were not in place. Hawaiians, you always say you want your land back. Stop voting for these mainland white guy democrats. Don't let him cite climate change or overcrowding of native people as reasons this happened. He is already saying those things This is so sad.

  7. What hypocrisy ! Missing people ? 1500…….dead ? 99 ? what the Hell ? they are missing because they burned up ; got instantly incinerated….That is why they are missing. The media needs to STOP being shills , as manipulations are not welcome ! kids and their pets are missing…..who were home, when that wild fire got to them, and burned them alive. That is the TRUTH ! We have to live with that. Stop the mental masturbation. It is not tolerated !
