호주 산불, 두 달 넘게 지속...'국가비상사태'

As Australia suffers from the worst wildfires in decades, the government has announced emergency measures to cope with the problem.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison ordered some 3,000 reserve troops to help tackle the fires and issued an emergency warning for the south-east of the country.
He also allocated 20 million U.S. dollars to lease 4 water bomber planes and announced plans to provide temporary accommodation for the victims.
The massive wildfires have killed at least 23 people since September, with dozens still missing.
They have burned nearly 49,000 square kilometers of land and destroyed at least 1,500 homes.
