"Unprecedented Greece Wildfire Devastates EU: Largest on Record"

The ongoing wildfire in northeastern Greece is the largest ever recorded in the European Union, claiming 20 lives and showing no signs of abating. The blaze, concentrated in a forest near the Turkish border, has been difficult to access for firefighters. Another major fire is also burning near the Greek capital. The European Union has coordinated relief efforts, mobilizing aircraft, firefighters, and vehicles. The causes of the fires are under investigation. Greece has called for help from other European countries, and more than 350 firefighters have been sent to assist. The wildfire has scorched over 81,000 hectares of land, making it the largest single blaze recorded in the EU since 2000.
