Greece Wildfires: Country at the brink of mammoth disaster with no let-ups in blazing infernos

Wildfires still continue to spread throughout Greece—including near Athens—burning thousands of acres and prompting widespread evacuations in Greece.

These wildfires have now expanded into Turkey, the latest instance of devastation from wildfires seen around the world this summer amid the impacts of climate change.

Wildfires in Greece, which have killed 20 people in the past three days, have been raging out of control just north-west of Athens and in the far north-east.

Authorities have warned that the heat and gale-force winds risk fuelling more and have urged extreme vigilance.

99,000 acres have been burnt by now from wildfires in Greece just from August 19 to 21.
