Large air tanker operations have now been suspended as police investigate what happened in the crash and what's the cause of cash but there's another reminder of the very difficult conditions that have been happening and also of the fact that the fires are still blazing, some of them are out of control, as we say 75 fires burning in New South Wales, 44 of those are not contained at the moment. So even though there is a moisture in the weather in the past few days the danger is yet not over in this bushfire season.

Donations And Recovery Of Australia From Bushfires

All the times, everybody is focusing to recovery your efforts as we can see there are donations that are coming from around the world to help with the recovery. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised, some have gone to fire services and also animal welfare organisations.The Australian Red cross has raised over 79 million US dollars, the salvation army raised 30 million US dollars and Saint Vincent de Paul has raised 8 million US dollars. The charity had been accused of spending donations on administration cost and stocking money for future emergencies  rather than what they meant for.

Well Red cross have defended itself saying that

The Red cross also said "we need to retain some funds... so when the world's attention turns away and the story moves on locals don't feel left behind".

This is our plan now based on what every bushfire-affected community we have ever worked with has told us it needs. We also know it costs us $5 million to keep our emergency teams in the field to respond to the fires that are ongoing and will burn until at least March. 3/4
