The death toll from the Victorian bushfires in south Australia has reached 108 by Monday morning and authorities said the number of fire victims was likely to rise even further. At least 750 homes have been destroyed and more than 330,000 hectare burnt out, while authorities said some fires could take weeks to contain. (Xinhua/AFP) |
