Southern France fires cause evacuations
Wildfires broke out in the Var region of southern France, destroying 2,500 hectares and forcing 400 people to evacuate their homes. The fires are still burning as of this morning, with around 1,100 firefighters working to control them, despite forecasts of improving winds and rising temperatures. Electricity has been cut off to 2,300 households. These fires occur in the context of increasing heatwaves and droughts caused by climate change, which intensifies the severity of wildfires across Europe.
