Wildfires are sweeping through Greece and Turkey as temperatures reach record highs, prompting emergency crews to combat the blazes. Officials have issued warnings that the extreme heat could lead to more wildfires in the coming days. The situation has escalated with a particularly severe fire on Kythira, a Greek island popular with tourists, which sparked fears for both residents and visitors.
Fires are also breaking out in several locations across Turkey, with local authorities struggling to manage the rapidly spreading flames. The high temperatures, which have exceeded 42°C in many areas, have created dangerous conditions for firefighters, making it even more challenging to contain the blazes. With limited resources and the increasing threat of the fires, authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and prepared.
