More than 100 wildfires broke out across Greece in the past few days, forcing thousands of residents and tourists to evacuate their homes.
Several large wildfires raged throughout Greece on Saturday, with some threatening whole towns and large swaths of forest, while another cut the country's second-largest island, Evia, in half.
Among the largest fires is the one on Evia, as well as two located in Greece's southern Peloponnese peninsula. Firefighters stand on a road as flames rise from a forest in the background in the village of Kyrynthos, in the north of Evia Island on August 6, 2021.In the Mani region of the Peloponnese, a local official said that the wildfire there had destroyed around 70 percent of her area.
So far, one volunteer firefighter died fighting the blazes while 20 have been treated in hospitals over the last week. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited the fire department's headquarters in Athens on Saturday and expressed his"deep sadness" for the firefighter's death.
