Northern France camps evacuated over wildfires
The article discusses the evacuation of around 1,200 people from camps in northern France due to wildfires erupting along the coast in the Pas-de-Calais region. Authorities have managed to control one of the two fires, while conditions remain unfavorable for the other, with difficulties reaching the fire site, which is moving southward. The affected individuals are being transferred to evacuation centers. Meanwhile, European wildfire incidents continue to escalate, fueled by heatwaves and drought following a wet winter that led to increased vegetation growth, thereby raising the risk of fires spreading. France has carried out intensive firefighting efforts, incurring costs estimated at $17 billion due to the heatwaves.
