Most Touching Photos From The Australian Bushfire 2020

As the Australian bushfire continues to rage across swathes of the country, harrowing scenes of apocalyptic red skies have become embedded in the national consciousness.

While the battle is far from over, with authorities warning conditions could worsen into the weekend, these are some of the bushfire images that have captured the heart of the crisis to date.

These pictures show how Australia has been dealing with the ongoing Australian bushfire in recent days.
