Destruction of more than ten thousand buildings in California fires and severe criticism of crisis management in America

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): These fires, including "Getty Fire" and "Tick Fire", include more than 15 active fire zones. Also, many urban infrastructures and natural resources have been destroyed in this area.

According to Noor News, the American media announced that the massive fires in Los Angeles caused a lot of damage to the cinema industry and led to frequent closures of cultural and artistic programs and cinema awards, including the initial screening of some films and the announcement of Oscar nominations.

 

 

Reports indicate that in addition to Hopkins and Hilton who lost their homes in this disaster, other celebrities have also lost their properties following these devastating fires.

Actors such as Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Harrison Ford and Chriselle Stous have been forced to leave their homes due to the huge amount of fires.

Hopkins, the "Silence of the Lambs" actor, bought this house in 2021 for $6 million.

Endgame and White House Fall star James Woods wept on CNN after losing his home in the affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood.

One of Leonardo DiCaprio's old houses has also caught fire. The property was located on Malibu Beach Boulevard and was sold in 2021 for $10 million after two decades.

State officials said the blaze was about 70 percent contained as of early this week, but strong winds and drought continue to make fighting difficult.Santa Ana winds and prolonged drought in this region have been the main factors in the ignition and spread of the fires.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden, in a statement lamenting the severity of the crisis, promised immediate federal aid. He added: "Climate change is clearly showing its effect in these incidents and we need to take more serious measures." However, many critics believe that the federal government has failed to provide funds to deal with natural disasters and implement preventive programs. Also, ineffective coordination between the state of California and federal agencies has added to the complexity of the crisis.

The governor of California also emphasized that the lack of funds and delays in federal support for firefighting teams have slowed down the process of crisis control. He stated: "We need faster cooperation and stronger support to deal with such incidents."

At the same time, domestic and foreign media have severely criticized the inefficiency of the US government in managing the crisis. CNN has criticized "systematic mismanagement" in the allocation of resources and the provision of firefighting equipment. The New York Times also pointed to ineffective US climate policies and warned that similar fires are increasing due to climate change. On the other hand, some media have mentioned the negative impact of fires on public health and the increase in cases of respiratory diseases.

The widespread wildfires in Los Angeles once again exposed the structural weakness in the management of natural disasters in the United States. The federal government's inability to provide sufficient resources and poor coordination between federal and state agencies have made the management of this crisis delayed and inefficient. Despite the repeated warnings of experts about the consequences of climate change, the lack of comprehensive policies and necessary preparation in the Biden administration was revealed. This fire in the last days of his administration added another leaf to his record of management failures and provoked widespread criticism from the media and public opinion.
