At least 53 people have died following devastating wildfires in Hawaii – with the state’s governor describing it as a “heart-breaking day”.
Speaking at a news conference, Josh Green said this was “likely the largest natural disaster” in the state’s history.
He warned that the number of fatalities will rise further, and will probably surpass the 61 lives lost after a tsunami in 1960.
“What we’ve seen today has been catastrophic, but we tell you there’s going to be a team effort to bring our state back,” Mr Green told reporters.
He added that many hundreds of homes have been destroyed – and thousands of people are in need of temporary accommodation.
