The state of New South Wales just declared a state of emergency, with the authorities warning that the fires heading their way this weekend might be the worst yet in an already catastrophic season. The devastation is immense. At least 15 people have died, with 8 deaths confirmed in the past week. Fires raged across forest and scrubland along Australia’s Pacific coast, choking cities with thick smoke, charring more than 1,800 houses and killing countless wild animals. Australia is normally hot and dry in summer, but climate change, which brings more frequent and longer periods of extreme heat, worsens these conditions and makes vegetation drier and more likely to burn. This is the worst fire season in Australia’s recorded history and what we can do to help is share these powerful images to make this go viral like the fires in Brazil did a few months ago as only then will international aid truly happen. Please join us in praying for Australia and also let’s all use our social media platforms for good and share this post with your followers and tag people, influencers, celebrities and news media that need to see this as we MUST get the word out about this urgent crisis and get international help for these communities!
