The blazes on the island are now the country’s worst in terms of casualties for over a century, while authorities have warned that the effort to find and identify the dead is still in its early stages, as crews with cadaver dogs have covered just 3 per cent of the search area.
Just want to clarify that I reading this right. They’ve now counted as many as 93 killed, and search crews have only covered 3% of the search area?!
Last I saw over 1000 still missing. Its grim.
That’s awful. I saw the death toll rising, which is terrible in of itself. But to hear what it’s climbed to and they’ve only covered 3%…that’s devistating news!!
