Consequences of large-scale fires in the United States
According to the publication, five people are currently known to have died as a result of the fires. The death toll is expected to rise as the fires continue to burn in Los Angeles County and are largely uncontained.
These fires are the most destructive in the history of Los Angeles. It is known that more than 1,000 buildings have burned down, and more than 130,000 people have received evacuation instructions or warnings. More than 200,000 homes and buildings have lost power due to the large-scale fires.
The situation is aggravated by strong winds and low humidity. This makes the fires spread faster. It is predicted that this weather will last until Friday.
As a reminder, Donald Trump has accused current US President Joe Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom of spreading the fires. He believes that the catastrophic situation is the result of politicians' inaction.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has responded to the large-scale fires in the United States. He wished for the disaster to be equtingished as soon as possible.
