France faces historic wildfire evacuations
Large fires are spreading in the forests of the Gironde region in southwestern France, leading to the evacuation of around 220,000 people. This is one of the largest civilian evacuations since the end of World War II. Firefighting teams, supported by Spanish units, military aircraft, and the army, are battling the flames that have covered more than 42,000 hectares, with their tongues nearing residential areas, especially near Bordeaux. The situation remains difficult, with the risk of fires spreading increasing due to hot weather and dense vegetation. Over 55,000 people have already been evacuated from other areas. These fires are among the largest in the country's history in decades.
