More than 15 new fires broke out in the Australian state of Victoria on Sunday. Authorities have warned that rising temperatures could fuel more forest fires later this week.
A thousand firefighters - supported by more than 50 aircraft - have been fighting the fires since they broke out a few days ago in Victoria, Australia. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese pledged - on Sunday - to provide "all necessary support" to help fight the forest fires that have been ongoing for days and have destroyed a number of homes.
