Portugal seeks extra aid for upcoming wildfires
Portugal requested today from the European Union, Spain, and Morocco to provide additional fire-fighting aircraft in anticipation of worsening forest fires during the current heatwave. Prime Minister Luís Montenegro confirmed that this step is not due to a lack of resources but is part of an exceptional situation requiring support from allies, as temperatures have exceeded 40 degrees Celsius in some areas and access to forests has been restricted. Intense efforts are ongoing to combat six forest fires across various regions, involving more than 2,800 firefighters, 864 vehicles, and 32 aircraft.
