Greece Wildfire: Heatwaves Fuel Deadliest Blaze Ever in European Union This Summer (Watch Video)

Greece is grappling with a catastrophic wildfire that has claimed 20 lives in the span of ten days, marking Europe's deadliest blaze of the summer amid scorching heatwaves. Reportedly, this massive wildfire ignited near Alexandroupolis and has ravaged the Evros region, fueled by strong winds and soaring temperatures. Tragically, most victims were irregular migrants sheltering in the forest. Government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis characterised it as a "megafire." At the same time, the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service revealed that over 77,000 hectares of land have been consumed, making it one of Europe's largest fires in years. Spain Wildfire Video: Spanish Island of Tenerife Engulfs in Huge Forest Fire, Evacuations Underway.
