Residents of Maui continue to struggle in the wake of this month's deadly wildfires, which ravaged the Hawaiian island. The fires killed at least 114 people and destroyed more than 2,000 buildings.

A volunteer center has been set up in the hard-hit town of Lahaina. Many people were working there this weekend to offer meals to affected residents.

In answer to a question from a reporter, one of the affected residents said he only has basic necessities like water or some snacks.

A Japanese NGO is delivering health supplies to shelters and trying to find out what residents need most.

Kondo Simon from Peace Winds Japan said, "It looked as if there were a lot of relief goods but some items were missing. For example, there were no sheets for cleaning or shavers. So they are now trying to get such supplies."

Kondo says long-term support is crucial, as it will take years to rebuild the devastated community.

People in Japan have also joined support efforts. A fundraising drive is underway at a tourist facility in the city of Tateyama, Chiba Prefecture.

Miyasaka Megumi from Hui Hula Lea Pomaikai said, "We want to help people as they overcome this. We hope reconstruction begins soon."

Many survivors have lost official documents such as passports. Local municipalities have begun helping them rebuild their lives by setting up a process for reissuing documents.
