KAHULUI, Hawaii: Recovery crews in Hawaii are likely to find between 10 and 20 more victims every day, the state's governor said, meaning the toll from the United States' deadliest wildfire in a century is expected to rise sharply.

At least 96 people are already confirmed to have died, but Gov. Josh Green said emergency responders with cadaver dogs would need more than a week to work their way through hundreds of homes and burned-out vehicles in hard-hit Lahaina.
