American TV presenter Oprah Winfrey was spotted at a shelter for victims of wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui. It has been reported New York Post.
Oprah Winfrey, 69, has helped people evacuated from their homes due to the bushfires plaguing the island of Maui. The TV presenter, who owns real estate on the island, brought basic necessities such as mattresses, pillows, blankets, sheets, towels and toiletries to the shelter.
“It’s a bit overwhelming, you know. But I’m so glad that so many people are supporting me and that people are doing everything they can and doing everything they can,” Oprah Winfrey said in a short video for the BBC.
On August 8, fires broke out on Maui, the second largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, due to strong winds from Hurricane Dora. The city of Lahaina in the west of the island suffered the most. According to local authorities, the fire has already destroyed more than 1,700 homes and residents had to be evacuated to temporary shelters.
On August 10, US President Joe Biden described what happened in Maui as a “major disaster” and ordered funding from the budget to combat the consequences of the elements.
