Australian Bush Fire Crisis
Australia is currently going through some of the worst bushfires that the world has ever seen. The fires have currently burned through more than 12.35 MILLION acres of land and have destroyed more than 1300 homes while also claiming 24 lives and more than 500 Million Wildlife animals.
The country has entered a state of emergency and is asking for help from across the world. Celebrities have begun creating as much exposure of the situation as possible so donations can be made to help the affected communitys.
Comedian Celeste Barber’s Facebook Bushfire charity has surpassed $42 Million on January 7th and is rising at around $1200 a minute, this money is going Directly to the NSW Rural Fire Service.
Actor Chris Hemsworth has posted on Instagram that his family will be donating $1 million to the bushfire relief.
