Pas extends condolences to victims of Los Angeles wildfires

SHAH ALAM - Pas extends its condolences to the victims and families affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles, California.

Pas Information Chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari expressed that the tragedy that has struck the city is both devastating and beyond explanation.

He called for urgent international assistance to support those affected.

In his statement, Fadhli urged US President Donald Trump, humanitarian organisations and the global community to provide immediate emergency aid, including medical supplies, temporary shelters, and long-term rebuilding plans.

"The people of Los Angeles need strong leadership, compassion and decisive action to overcome this calamity," he said.

He also addressed Trump directly, urging him to abandon any intentions to escalate tensions in Gaza.

"Instead of causing destruction and conflict, let us unite in supporting humanitarian efforts, regardless of nationality or religion," Fadhli added in a Facebook post on Sunday.

According to media reports, at least 16 people have been confirmed dead due to the wildfires, which have caused widespread devastation in Los Angeles.

The fires have destroyed homes and infrastructure, leaving millions of California residents in distress.

Fire and rescue teams are working relentlessly to control the fires, which have spread to new areas.

Celebrities are among the tens of thousands of residents impacted by the disaster.

Fadhli expressed his hope that this tragedy would serve as a reminder of the importance of unity and humanity.

"We continue to pray for the victims and hope that leaders prioritise rebuilding the lives of those affected, fostering unity, and ensuring the safety of all.

"May the people of Los Angeles find strength and may the entire world work together to achieve peace, not destruction," he added.
