Spain declares emergency after wildfire evacuations
The Spanish government announced a state of national emergency today, Friday, following the evacuation of approximately ten thousand people from villages in central Madrid due to wildfires that have gone out of control amid a heatwave. These measures are part of the Interior Ministry's efforts to combat the fires, which have scorched more than 100,000 hectares since the beginning of the year, including a major fire in the Guadalajara region, and have resulted in the death of 13 people in the southern part of the country.
