Hawaii: The uncontrollable wildfire raging through the forests of the US state of Hawaii has now claimed the lives of more than 101 people, with over 130 individuals reported missing.

For the past week, the devastating wildfire has engulfed the entire region, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

The historic town of Lahaina has been completely obliterated by the inferno. The damages have escalated with nearly 3,000 structures destroyed, resulting in losses exceeding 6 billion dollars.

Facing severe criticism for not providing a special response following the incident, US President Joe Biden is under pressure to take decisive action.

Biden's stance has been that he doesn't want to hinder the efforts of rescue teams.

He mentioned that he will visit Hawaii with First Lady Jill Biden once deemed appropriate.

The relentless wildfire, which is currently out of control, continues to wreak havoc in Hawaii, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.

The situation remains critical as efforts to contain the inferno are ongoing, and the authorities are working tirelessly to provide relief and support to those affected.
