Water-dropping planes from several European countries have joined hundreds of firefighters battling wildfires raging for days across Greece that have left 20 people dead, while major blazes are also burning in Spain’s Tenerife and in northwestern Turkey near the Greek border.
Firefighters searching recently burnt areas in the Alexandroupolis regionbelieved to be migrants in a forest Tuesday. Another two people were found dead on Monday, one in northern Greece and another in a separate fire in central Greece.
Evacuations were ordered for several areas on the northwestern fringe of the Greek capital as a wildfire that started Tuesday raced up a mountain towards the Parnitha national park, threatened a military base in the area and reached homes in the foothills. The fire in Alexandroupolis, a region near Greece’s eastern border with Turkey, continued to burn out of control, with dozens of Romanian firefighters joining the battle against the flames, backed by eight helicopters and five planes, including two from Cyprus.
Authorities evacuated an elderly care home and more than 1,250 people from nine villages and closed down a highway as a precaution. More than 80 people were treated in hospitals for the effects of smoke.
