Crete Wildfires: Thousands Displaced
Thousands have been evacuated from villages and tourist areas in Crete due to wildfires fueled by strong winds, with the fire in Rethymno spanning over 15 km and destroying homes and farmland. Two firefighters died battling the blaze, which remains uncontrolled amid difficult conditions, including gusts up to 125 km/h. Firefighting efforts are hindered by weather, with hundreds of personnel deployed and shelters set up for evacuees; similar fires are occurring across Europe, driven by extreme heat and climate change.
