Fire disaster in Hawaii: more than 1,000 people missing

After the wildfires that started in Hawaii on August 9, while the search for the missing continues, more than 1,000 people have not heard from them.

According to a BBC report, the list of missing persons is planned to be made public to limit search efforts. Authorities do not know how many of the more than 1,000 missing are dead, and nearly 1,400 out of a total of 2,500 are missing.

The official of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Steven Merrill, stated that there is a possibility of not reaching all the missing as a result of the studies: “We are considering all the names on the list until it is proven that they are not in the list of missing. “. He used the phrase. Merrill emphasized that the work will continue.

THEY LOOK FOR HUMAN WASTE THROUGH THE STANDARDS

Teams, accompanied by cadaver-sniffing dogs, search for human remains in the burned area.

Because the heat reaches a high enough level during the fire to melt fire trucks, crews find human bones or body parts among the piles of ash. Authorities are asking families to provide DNA samples so they can identify the bones and body parts.

The official death toll in the wildfires was last announced at 115.

President Joe Biden visited Hawaii on August 22 and promised to help those injured in the fire. (AA)
