Major wildfires burn in Greece, Spain's Canary Island of Tenerife. 1 dead, 2 injured in Greece
Monday, 21 August 2023 Wildfires are raging in Greece and Spain's Canary Islands, with hot and windy conditions hindering firefighting efforts. EU officials blame climate change for the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires in Europe. In Greece, a man died of smoke inhalation while trying to save his livestock, and two firefighters were injured. Evacuation orders were issued for several regions, and the government has banned public access to mountains and forests.
Thousands of residents from Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands have been evacuated as a wildfire authorities deemed “out of control” rages on for a fourth day. The regional government for the Canary Islands said that 4,000 more people were ordered to evacuate on Saturday.
