Fires persist across France and Spain
Wildfires continue in France and Spain, with thousands of residents and tourists being evacuated from danger zones. In France, the Cape Vezire area experienced the largest wildfire of the season, consuming around 10,000 hectares and prompting the evacuation of 35,000 people. Authorities have also implemented an evacuation plan covering 10 to 14 thousand people within the next 24 hours. In Spain, the Madrid fires are the worst in the region’s history, with approximately 19,000 people evacuated and 6,000 hectares destroyed. There are expectations that two fires may merge, making the situation even more critical. The conditions have been worsened by harsh weather factors, such as strong, gusting winds and high temperatures. Both Spain and France have activated European assistance mechanisms to help extinguish the fires, which authorities have described as "catastrophic."
