Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has issued a stark warning about the ongoing wildfires in Southern California, describing the situation as 'quite dire.' The wildfires have been causing widespread destruction and displacing a significant number of people.
Mayorkas highlighted the role of extreme weather events in exacerbating the wildfires and leading to a surge in human displacement. He noted that the world is currently facing the highest level of human displacement since World War II, with over 80 million people displaced globally.
