Communicator Oprah Winfrey, 69, is offering help to residents displaced in shelters after the heat wave that has caused wildfires on the island of Maui, in the archipelago of Hawaii, in the United States. The death toll now exceeds 80.
She was spotted handing out supplies, pillows and hygiene products to those in the area. Winfrey owns property on the island, which is why she is volunteering.
“Oprah went to several local shelters to ask firsthand what was most needed. Then she went to buy the items and brought them back. It’s heartbreaking devastation,” a spokesperson for her told CNN.
In 2019, Oprah had already provided assistance by opening a private road that crossed her residence in the same area. At that time, people were also escaping from a fire.
Forty-eight degrees Celsius. That was the thermal sensation this Friday (11) in the city of Baton Rouge, capital of Louisiana, state in the south of the United States. In other 61 American cities, such as Orlando (Florida), Austin (Texas) and Phoenix (Arizona), forecasts also pointed to above 40°C.
According to the Democratic governor of Hawaii, Josh Green, the tragedy is probably the biggest ever faced by Hawaiians in its entire history – in the tsunami that hit the archipelago in 1960, 61 people were killed.
