The number of people killed in the Hawaii wildfires has risen to 55, and hundreds more are said to be missing on the island of Maui.
Governor Josh Green has described the fires a “catastrophic” and the largest in the state’s history, with 80% of historic seaside town Lahaina “gone”.
Tens of thousands of visitors have been evacuated while 11,000 people remain without power on the western side of the island.
Firefighters have been battling to contain Maui’s wildfires, which began on Tuesday and were fuelled by winds from a hurricane.
US President Joe Biden has issued a “major disaster declaration” which releases funds for recovery.
