The fire has now become the deadliest recorded in the United States in over a century.

The fire has razed entire neighborhoods and forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes.

Firefighters have made headway in containing the fire, but the exact count of those still unaccounted for remains uncertain.

The wildfire was sparked by Hurricane Dora, which brought strong winds to the area. It is the deadliest natural disaster in Hawaii since the state became a US territory in 1959.

The search for survivors and the investigation into the cause of the fire continue. (ILKHA)
