Greek wildfires burn over 10,000 hectares
Greece is currently experiencing a massive wave of wildfires resulting from soaring temperatures and ongoing drought. Over 10,000 hectares have been affected in the Corinth Gulf region. The fire near the village of Porto Germeno on the northern coast of Athens is considered a "huge fire," leading to the evacuation of residents and the destruction of several homes. Approximately 600 firefighting personnel have been involved in efforts to control the blaze, but challenging weather conditions, especially strong winds, have caused the deaths of three firefighters during operations. Authorities continue to warn of the potential for ongoing fires due to heatwaves and drought, with the threat expected to persist in Athens, the Fokida Islands, and Euboea. Greece remains one of the countries most affected by the climate crisis, primarily due to annual wildfires.
