A disaster response team has been deployed to Kangaroo Island in South Australia to begin a search and rescue mission for thousands of koalas and other animals caught in bushfires.
The team formed by the animal charity Humane Society International are there to rescue wildlife suffering from burns, injuries, smoke inhalation and other trauma.
They will also build water and food stations to sustain the uninjured animals who managed to survive.
But according to Humane Society International senior specialist in disaster response, Kelly Donithan, conditions on the ground are extremely harrowing:
“These are some of the toughest scenes I’ve ever witnessed as an animal rescuer. The bodies of charred animals as far as the eye can see,”
“However, as we set out each day on search and rescue, we’re still finding animals alive, injured, dazed or traumatized, and it’s such a relief to be able to give them immediate life-saving assistance.”
“We’ve seen kangaroos with devastating burn injuries and dehydrated koalas gasping for water. Amidst all this death, every time we find an animal alive it feels like a miracle.”
Koalas may now be designated an endangered species as so many have been killed.

الله اكبرشرارت جهنم. في أستراليا
save koalas, kill camels, because of water ? come on guys dont be stupid….
I don't know why people record videos while saving animals is that really necessary
all people keep talking about are koalas, most people pretend like they care and are empathetic, they dont, they are childish and just care about seeing fluffy animals . Its like the people who hate other people but think dogs are earth shatteringly amazing.

Como me encantaría que halla un avión y lleve a los animales a otro país donde cumplan con sus nesecidades en vez de llevarlos a un refugio que después no habrá lugar
How terrible. ?
Shame on the Australian government for legally preventing the aboriginal people from setting controlled fires… This didn't have to happen.
