Ive been down here at this harbour today because a lot of the locals have been doing what they can to get aid into lahaina, taking private boats and trying to sail around the island to get aid in that way because there is growing criticism about the speed and scale of the humanitarian response Variant Lahaina and everyone you speak to you know someone who is impacted or are impacted themselves. They are traumatised. You get the sense that they are not even able to process what happened to them or grieve or mourn their loved ones because theyve lost everything and are looking for humanitarian aid in terms of food, shelter, clean drinking water, and when i was down in the harbour i met a young man called blake, a lahaina resident who has lost everything.

Of course hawaii is a collection of islands, Remote I Collection of islands, remote islands, and the weather is very variable here and thats one of the challenges for authorities as well. As you say, winds have picked up throughout the day. There are always concerns from authorities the blazes could again be flat and flames could be found because of the high winds. We had a moment of Brief Respite when we had rain earlier this afternoon and is welcome because that was other people i spoke to said that heavy rains could also be a concern for the community of lahaina because the Recovery Efforts are under way and if they did see flooding in that area, essentially what theyre worried about is Human Remains being washed away before people can identify them. So that would also present another serious and heartbreaking challenge here. Challenge here. Helena humphries challenge here. Helena humphries on challenge here. Helena humphries on maui.

Tv personality Oprah Winfrey has been living part time on the island for more than 15 years. Shes in maui now, Offering Support to those affected by the fires. We are still just we are stilljust grateful to have each other so it is really, the spirit is about community and family and we have seen this year and weighs most people never get to imagine what that really looks like aloha spirit. But as weve been hearing, theres desperate need foraid on maui. And some locals are asking, whats taking so long . Heres our north america correspondent, john sudworth. Vital supplies being loaded onto a boat that would normally be taking tourists whale watching. Theyre now making multiple daily trips into the Disaster Zone with a growing sense of frustration. We are all wondering, why was there no help sent from 0ahu . Pearl harbor is a 20 minute flight away, right . Why are the limited resources of police on this island left alone . Where is the support for them . Why are we taking supplies on a boat instead of helicopter . We do this because we have to. An hour into the journey and the devastation along the shoreline comes into view. We can quite clearly see the town of lahaina now and you can make out is the blackened landscape above the town where the grass was burning and what happened with the Hurricane Blowing away off to the south, the pressure brought the wind over the top of the island, picking up speed on the way down the mountainside and then picking up sparks from that fire and bringing them directly into the town. They didnt stand a chance. Inside, there is little left, but the remnants of shattered lives and livelihoods. A stark reminder of the deep humanitarian need here. As the aid is brought ashore, many of those helping out have also been affected by the fire. I was fighting for my life with my four year old boy in my hands. I was in the water for eight hours. There was a point that in my head i was thinking, thats it, you know. But my boy kept me going to survive. This footage shows the terror for those having to take shelter in the water that night. Scenes that once again prompt that same question. We were wondering, where is the help . When we want to get the help, we are waiting for it and we need it really bad. There are huge challenges for the authorities, not least searching for Human Remains while securing a site from the public and media. We know weve got to go quick and we have got to do it right. When we pick up the remains and they fall apart, and so when you have 200 people running through the scene yesterday and some of you, thats what youre stepping on. I dont know how much more you want me to describe it. Thats what youre stepping on. Give us a little bit of time to contain that. Please. Five days on, the true scale of hawaiis disaster is becoming clearer. John sudworth are there on the Recovery Effort in maui.
