Tens Of Thousands Evacuate As Fires In Europe Rage On

Across Europe; Wild Fires: Turkey is battling its most destructive blazes in history! Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from coastal regions and countless acres of forest destroyed. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has come under fierce criticism over the disaster.

Scientists also blame climate change for the wildfires devastating parts of neighboring Greece. A humungous fire on Greece’s second-largest island Evia is continuing to burn. It’s destroyed homes and businesses as well as vast tracts of forest. Thousands have been evacuated. Ferries and warships are moving people to safety, as strong winds spread the flames.
