Death toll rises as wildfires continue in US West Coast states



WASHINGTON: At least 30 people have been killed by wildfires sweeping through US West Coast states, officials have said.

Several people are missing in Oregon, international media reports have said.

Fires have been still raging in Oregon, California and Washington for three weeks.

It has burnt millions of acres of land and destroyed thousands of homes.

Tens of thousands of residents are forced to flee their homes.

Democratic presidential challenger Joe Biden said “climate change poses an imminent, existential threat to our way of life” and alleged President Donald Trump of denying “that reality”.

The fires have also scorched some areas of land the size of New Jersey, officials say.
