Spain evacuates thousands over wildfires
Large wildfires in France and Spain have led to widespread evacuations of residents and tourists, with both countries requesting support from the European Union to combat the escalating blazes. In France, the cape of Cap de la Vère was evacuated as the flames approached homes, and approximately 63,000 people were evacuated. Meanwhile, in Spain, more than 10,000 people were evacuated from mountainous areas near Madrid amid extensive efforts by emergency teams and a request for European aid. Heatwaves and severe droughts play a major role in intensifying the fires, as high temperatures dry out vegetation and increase the size of the wildfires, resulting in thousands of deaths and the destruction of vast areas of land in the second consecutive year of a devastating fire season.
