And the death toll is rising: 34 people have died in Algeria since Sunday, two in Sicily and three in Greece.
Not to mention massive damage.
Fighting strong fires engulfing Greece, which has been plagued by scorching temperatures for ten days, resulted in the death of two people on Tuesday in the south of the island of Evia. Two pilots of a Canadair type water bomber. While fighting the flames, their plane hit a tree and lost balance before crashing into a ravine.
In the afternoon, another charred body was found. “It could be the shepherd who has been missing since Sunday.” This was announced by the press secretary of the Greek police Constance Dimoglidu. This Tuesday evening, the entire Greek coastline is on high alert, with 34 new fires recorded today alone.
Croatia and Türkiye also suffered
In a broader sense, the entire Mediterranean basin is affected by fires. In Algeria, firefighters are moving closer to putting out huge wildfires that have already killed at least 34 people, according to authorities. “Civil protection was able to put out 80% of them after continuous mobilization on the night of Monday to Tuesday”This is stated in the message of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The ministry added that 13 outbreaks remain in seven northern and eastern prefectures.
The inhabitants are poor. “Fire destroys everything in its path. Many have already lost everything. Half of my house burned down, laments one of them in the TF1 JT video at the top of this article. In Bejaia, a small town on the Algerian coast, they decided to flee. About 20 people stormed the inflatable boat to escape the sea.
In the neighboring country, Tunisia, vegetation is also burning, overheated for weeks. In support of firefighters, residents fight fires with water hoses or pickaxes to create return fire.
