French authorities call for Bordeaux suburb evacuations
French and Spanish authorities have declared a state of emergency due to massive wildfires that have led to the evacuation of around 200,000 people in southwestern France and central Spain, including the city of Bordeaux. The governor of the Gironde region issued an immediate evacuation order for some neighborhoods of Bordeaux, including the city’s airport, due to the ongoing spread and intensity of the fires, which forced residents to flee by cars and boats. High temperatures and climate change have accelerated the speed and severity of the fires, injuring dozens of French firefighters. However, there are no reports of fatalities. Spain is receiving aerial support from the European Union, including aircraft from Italy and Greece, to assist in the firefighting efforts.
