TL;DR Summary

Greece has been battling numerous wildfires this summer, with some fires spiraling out of control and causing significant damage. One fire in the Alexandroupolis and Evros region has resulted in the deaths of 20 people, including 18 migrants. The blaze in the Dadia national park is the largest single wildfire recorded in the EU since 2000. Another fire on the island of Rhodes prompted the largest evacuation in Greece, with about 20,000 people rescued. The human-caused climate crisis has extended the wildfire season and increased the likelihood of fires in southern Europe. The current extreme weather events worldwide highlight the urgent need to address emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
