Amidst harsh criticism of the Biden administration and Hawaii government officials for their response to the devastating and deadly Maui fires, the Hungarian government has reportedly stepped up to provide shelter for 250 Maui families.
There had been ample warning of the serious risk of wildfires and millions of dollars available to spend on preparing for them. Nonetheless, when fire raged through Lahaina this month, water was not initially released to fight it, government negligence had exacerbated the flammable nature of the area, people were blocked from escaping, and the exact death toll is unknown as hundreds of people are still missing, including many children.
The Biden administration was slammed for its apparent initial indifference before Biden’s eventual gaffe-filled and out-of-touch visit. Local officials have also faced angry criticism. Not to mention, federal aid officials were caught staying in four-star and five-star hotels 45 minutes from Lahaina as survivors lacked sufficient aid. But Hungary is stepping up.
