An almost apocalyptic scene. An Australian military aircraft attempted to land in the Victoria area in the midst of a red haze caused by smoke from a fire.
Faced with the danger, the air force pilots finally gave up their operation to evacuate civilians. In the regions of Australia affected by the fires, thousands of people flee the blaze and are evacuated by air.
Since September, fires in Australia have killed at least 24 people in the country and destroyed an area comparable to twice Belgium.
