Spain seeks EU aid for Madrid wildfires
Spain has requested that the European Union activate the emergency response mechanism to assist in combating the wildfires ravaging the Madrid area, which remain out of control despite ongoing efforts. More than 270 firefighters and military emergency units continue working to contain the fires, which have led to the evacuation of over ten thousand people, amid weather conditions that could further complicate the operation. The fires have overwhelmed local authorities, leading to the declaration of a national emergency in Madrid and Avila, along with a request for centralized coordination to support the firefighting efforts.
