Turkey: On Alert Due to Forest Fires

Turkey is on high alert due to multiple forest fires. While the flames in Gallipoli have been brought under control, a serious fire in Magnesia continues to rage.

In Kordelio, residents were evacuated from their homes, and a village was evacuated from the side of Aydın. So far, 69 fires have been brought under control, but there are still 6 active fires.

Sadly, 16 houses and facilities in the industrial zone have been burned down. The risk of forest fires remains high due to low humidity, high temperatures, and strong winds.

The wildfires in Turkey have also caused significant damage in popular vacation spots like Izmir, where 900 people have been evacuated. The wildfires have affected other cities and provinces as well, including Aydın, Muğla, Manisa, Bolu, and Izmir.

In total, 4,000 people have been forced to evacuate, and the cause of the fires is still unclear. Firefighters, along with planes, helicopters, and thousands of personnel, are working tirelessly to combat the fires.

Additionally, Greece has also been battling wildfires, further highlighting the severity of the situation.
