Two weeks after the fast moving fire burned down much of Lahaina, the death toll is at 115; the remains that have been identified is at 43; and the number of “unaccounted for” is between 1,000 and 1,100, according to officials.
Officials on Maui said they are struggling to come up with an accurate list of missing people because they do not have enough information, and the local community has been reluctant to submit DNA samples for identification.
Thousands of people are missing from wildfires that swept through Maui earlier this month, prompting officials to ask for DNA samples to identify the remains.
