According to sources, the Australian bushfires have rendered more than 10.3 million hectares of land in an utter state of destruction, with forest burnt down and structures reduced to mere rubble.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in another press conference earlier this week had warned that the fire may continue to burn for many more months to come.

PM Morrison also announced the dedication of $2 billion to the creation of a National Bushfire Recovery Fund, which will be used to coordinate national response to support families and society rebuild their communities and livelihoods affected by the inferno.
