Burnt cars block the road between Castanheira de Pera and Figueiro dos Vinhos, central Portugal today.

Fire and smoke is seen on the IC8 motorway during a forest fire near Pedrogao Grande, in central Portugal today.

A raging forest fire in central Portugal killed at least 62 people as they desperately tried to flee, charring cars and trucks as it swept over roads.

The disaster, the worst tragedy Portugal has experienced in decades that shook the nation with the president declaring that the country's pain "knows no end."

Almost 24 hours after the deaths Saturday night, fires were still churning across the forested hillsides of central Portugal. Police and firefighters were searching charred areas of the forest and isolated homes, looking for more bodies.

But seeing this principle in action for the first time has made me understand what it really means.

At least 30 people have died, 12 people remain in critical care, and about 50 still missing after a huge fire engulfed a west London tower block in the early hours of Wednesday.

40 fire engines and more than 200 firefighters went to tackle the blaze.

The cladding installed on the tower in a recent renovation has come under scrutiny, with experts saying a more fire resistant type could have been used.

Push baby.

When this dad is so scared.

Pulling out his child.

“This is from a twin delivery of his two boys born a week before their planned C-section.

They had oxygen masks on as they needed a little assistance to breathe, and dad just stayed and stared at them the whole time!”

“This father was so incredibly supportive through the delivery process.

He held his wife’s hand in between contractions and massaged her throughthe back labor.

And in the moments she was unsure if she could get through this, he reminded her of how incredibly strong she was.”




Lalasticlala, lets celebrate dads in the house.

“Fatherhood begins long before babies make their appearance.

Endless love and unwavering support during labor and delivery is just one of the many ways!”

This dad was injured severely in an accident in just three months before the birth of their second baby.

He wasn’t able to support his wife physically, but he found other ways to help and hold space.”
