Greece evacuates homes over wildfires near naval base
Greek authorities have ordered the evacuation of residential areas near Athens following the outbreak of massive wildfires in the southeastern part of the capital and on the island of Salamina. Firefighting teams, led by over 150 firefighters and 50 vehicles, are working to contain the blazes, supported by aircraft spraying water. The heatwave, which has reached 40 degrees Celsius, has worsened the situation. Over the past few weeks, the fires have claimed seven lives, destroyed thousands of hectares of forests, and razed dozens of homes.
