Report in the past tense. This isn't just syntax. You shouldn't be trying to say "this is the way things are", which ultimately cannot be done anyway: everything you describe is in the past, never the present (let alone the future). Don't claim to provide a "live update" or the like.
Report on an announcement, rather than reporting what was announced. For example, rather than "at least <x> people were killed", one might say "<person> said <x> people were killed", or, even better, "in a press conference in the afternoon, <person> said <x> people were killed" — that last is especially good because, one, our readers are reminded to think about where the claim comes from; two, they are informed who made the claim; and three, they are informed when the claim was made, which can help in understanding the history of development of a story that's changing rapidly.
Use complete sentences, rather than putting tags on things (like "Live update:"). Don't use boldface. There should be at least three paragraphs, starting with a lede that briefly summarizes the event by succinctly answering as many as reasonably possible of the five Ws and an H about the event. Further paragraphs should proceed in an inverted pyramid. See WN:PILLARS#style.
If possible, please address the above issues then resubmit the article for another review (by replacing {{tasks}} in the article with {{review}}). This talk page will be updated with subsequent reviews.

The removal of boldface is appreciated. However, style concerns remain.
We can help a bit with brushing up the English, of course. However, as noted there is a matter of content: tell our readers where the information came from — not which news org (which is covered by citing the news sources at the bottom of the page), but where they got the information. A firefighter, a "government official", an airline representative, whatever.
Don't put a death-toll in a separate section. Don't put it in present tense. And do say who said it and when they said it.
Don't use <br> to break lines; instead, use blank lines to separate paragraphs. There should be at least three paragraphs; and, figure the total amount of text should be about twice what's there now, maybe a bit more.

It's the middle of the night for me; I do need sleep, so while someone else might review it sooner, I certainly won't have an opportunity to review this for at least five hours or so. --Pi zero (talk) 07:31, 8 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
