MOSCOW – The number of deaths due to the wildfires in Hawaii has increased to 89, reported Sputnik, citing the state’s Governor Josh Green on NBC News.

The death toll makes the Maui wildfires the deadliest in modern US history, NBC specified today, saying that the disaster has officially become deadlier than California’s Camp Fire that killed 85 people in 2018.

Earlier today, Maui County said in a statement that firefighting efforts continue in Lahaina, Pulehu/Kihei and Upcountry Maui, while the death toll was at 80. – Bernama, August 13, 2023
