Wildfires rage in Greece and Turkey as extreme heat persists
Wildfires rage in Greece and Turkey as extreme heat persists. Firefighters are bracing for a "difficult day" ahead, with temperatures forecast to reach up to 44°C (111.2°F) on Sunday. The scorching heat has fueled the spread of the fires, which have been raging for several days in both countries. In Greece, the fires have forced the evacuation of hundreds of people from their homes, and have caused significant damage to forests and agricultural land. In Turkey, the fires have been particularly severe in the southern regions, with dozens of villages being evacuated. The extreme weather conditions have made it challenging for firefighters to control the blazes, and authorities have warned that the situation could worsen in the coming days. International assistance has been requested to help combat the fires, and efforts are underway to provide aid and support to the affected communities.
