Southern European heatwave fans multiple wildfires

A heatwave has swept across southern Europe, leading to multiple wildfires in countries like Greece and Turkey. The high temperatures, reaching up to 45 degrees Celsius, have created ideal conditions for the rapid spread of these fires. Authorities in the affected regions have been working tirelessly to contain the blazes, with thousands of firefighters and residents evacuated from their homes as a precautionary measure. Several villages and tourist areas have been threatened by the flames, and the smoke has created poor air quality in the surrounding areas. The situation is particularly dire in Greece, where at least 20 people have been hospitalized due to the fires. The heatwave is expected to continue in the coming days, raising concerns about the potential for further escalation of the wildfire crisis in southern Europe.
