Australia is currently facing devastating wildfires, the worst in decades according to CNN. So far, the fires have killed 24 people and destroyed more than 1,300 homes. Several celebrities have spoken out in support of the country and the victims of the fires, including the royal family.
On Saturday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared a touching post about the fires on their official Sussex Royal Instagram account, along with information about how fans can help with relief efforts.
In the post, the couple wrote:
"Our thoughts and prayers are with those across Australia who are continuing to face the devastating fires that have been raging for months.
From areas we are personally connected to such as the communities and people we visited in New South Wales in 2018, to the fires in California and parts of Africa, we are struck by the increasingly overlapping presence of these environmental disasters, including of course the destruction of the Amazon which continues.
This global environmental crisis has now been described as Ecocide. It’s easy to feel helpless, but there’s always a way to help.
