koala disaster in Australia

Thousands of koalas are feared to have died in a wildfire-ravaged area north of Sydney, further diminishing the population of Australia's iconic marsupial.

The mid-north coast of New South Wales was home to up to 28,000 koalas but wildfires in the area in recent months have significantly reduced their population.

The risk of fire accelerated on Saturday in the country's east as temperatures soared.
