Wildfires rage in Greece as extreme heat persists

Greece is facing a severe wildfire crisis as extreme heat continues to grip the country. Firefighters have warned of a "difficult day" ahead, with temperatures expected to reach up to 44°C (111.2°F) on Sunday. The wildfires, fueled by the intense heat and dry conditions, have been raging across various regions, forcing the evacuation of thousands of people. Emergency services are working around the clock to contain the fires and protect the affected communities. The extreme weather conditions have exacerbated the situation, making it challenging for firefighters to gain control of the blazes. Greek authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant and follow the instructions of local authorities to ensure their safety. As the heatwave persists, the risk of further wildfires spreading remains high, and the situation is expected to remain critical in the coming days.
