Australian Bush Fires

Since the bush fires in Australia started, 28 people have died. New South Wales, Australia has been hit the hardest. Millions of animals have already died and hundreds of homes have been destroyed. Not only has the dry climate affected the fires, but the fierce wind has caused the fire to spread. The fire has somewhat been detained due to the fact that it has rained. Since it is the hottest month in Australia right now, no one knows when the fires will be completely destroyed. Many celebrities and political leaders have raised awareness for the fires as well as money. For example, Kylie Jenner donated $1 million to the Australian Bushfire Relief organization. There are many other organizations to donate to including; The Salvation Army, Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery, Vets Beyond Borders, The World Wildlife Fund, and many more.  This event has raised questions about climate change, and how countries are being affected by it.
