Germany and France evacuate due to wildfires
Authorities in Germany and France have launched evacuation campaigns for more than 2,300 people due to wildfires and the intense heatwave affecting the region. In Germany, approximately 1,800 people were evacuated from an area in the western part of the country after a large-scale fire broke out near the border with Belgium. Authorities advised residents to leave the villages of "Gie" and head to relief centers. In France, the heatwave that began on July 28 continued, surpassing the duration of the 2003 heatwave to become the third-longest recorded heatwave in the country. Temperatures are expected to rise to 40 degrees Celsius, and widespread wildfires have erupted in the Landes region, leading to the evacuation of 525 people. The fires persist amid rising temperatures and drought conditions, which have been worsened by the growth of moist winter plants that dried out due to the hot, dry weather.
