Hawaii Hit by Deadliest Wildfires in More Than Century

The US’ Pacific Disaster Center has announced that rebuilding Hawaii after the devastating wildfires, which destroyed more than 2,000 buildings, may cost almost $6 billion.

The wildfires have become the deadliest disaster in modern US history, surpassing California's Camp Fire that killed 85 people in 2018.

The Hawaii blaze death toll currently stands at 93, a tally that the authorities warn may rise in the immediate future.
