Hawaii Governor Josh Green said 3,000 people displaced by wildfires in Lahaina are still living in hotels more than seven months after the blaze, but up to 30 people are moving to longer-term housing each day.

Mr Green told a news conference the state and federal government have lined up sufficient long-term rental units to shelter everyone currently in one of 11 hotels still housing survivors.
