Tens of
thousands of people remained stranded on Thursday evening while attempting to
flee bushfire-ravaged areas of the south-east Australian coast – having earlier
been urged to leave before the return of extreme and dangerous weather
conditions.
The mass
evacuation of communities in New South Wales and Victoria is among the largest
ever emergency movements of people in Australia. The numbers fleeing the
bushfire crisis remain unclear, but are expected to compare to the 60,000
people who were flown out of Darwin after Cyclone Tracy in 1974.
