The White House announced Wednesday that US President Joe Biden will head to Hawaii to "meet with first responders, survivors, as well as federal, state, and local officials" in Maui Monday.
Last weeks fire leveled the historic town of Lahaina on the island of Maui and was the deadliest in the United States in more than a century. The death toll of 110 is expected to rise over the coming days.
The cause of the wildfires, already the deadliest in the US in more than a century, is under investigation.
The fire destroyed or damaged more than 2,200 buildings, 86% of them residential, and caused an estimated $5.5 billion in damage, authorities said. (QNA)
