At least 24 people have lost their lives, and 16 others are missing as wildfires continue to ravage Los Angeles for the sixth consecutive day. According to officials, the fires have already destroyed over 12,000 structures, and firefighters are working tirelessly to control the devastating blaze.

The U.S. National Weather Service has issued red flag warnings for dangerous fire conditions, citing strong winds reaching 80 km/h, with gusts in mountainous areas hitting speeds of up to 113 km/h. These severe weather conditions are expected to make Tuesday the most critical day for firefighting efforts, a meteorologist warned.

Firefighting crews from seven U.S. states, along with teams from Canada and Mexico, have joined forces to combat the flames. Despite their efforts, the scale of destruction remains immense.

California Governor Gavin Newsom described the wildfires as potentially the most catastrophic natural disaster in U.S. history. Thousands of homes have been reduced to ashes, and over 100,000 people have been forced to evacuate. In Los Angeles County alone, more than 150,000 residents are under evacuation orders, with around 700 individuals currently sheltering in nine emergency facilities.
