Many Maui Wildfire Victims May Be Children And 850 People Are Still Missing, According To Hawaii Governor
There are still 850 people missing on the island of Maui and more than 100 have been declared dead. However, many people speculate that the Hawaii government is withholding truthful information about how many children were actually burned alive by the fires.
In early August 2023, Hawaii, particularly the island of Maui, was ravaged by one of the worst wildfires in U.S. history, leaving more than 100 people dead in Lāhainā and 850 still missing. The fires, exacerbated by strong winds from Hurricane Dora, prompted a federal disaster declaration from President Joe Biden. However, residents complain about a lack of adequate official response. Questions have arisen about the state's emergency preparedness, especially why warning sirens were not activated.
