US President Joe Biden wants to travel to the Hawaiian island soon following the fire disaster on Maui with around a hundred dead. “My wife Jill and I will be traveling to Hawaii as soon as possible,” Biden announced in a speech in Milwaukee on Tuesday. However, he did not want to get in the way of or disturb the rescue work there. In the meantime, he wants to make sure the people of Maui get the support they need.
“Everything they need, they will get,” promised the Democrat. Biden pledged government disaster relief to the people of Hawaii two days following the fires broke out. According to the government, almost 500 employees are now on site. The forest fires broke out in several places on Maui and the neighboring island of Hawaii, which bears the same name as the state, last Tuesday. The small town of Lahaina, Maui, which had a population of 13,000 before the accident, was particularly hard hit. Many streets there look like in a war zone. The town center was completely destroyed. Emergency services continue to search for missing persons.
