Tourists evacuate Crete fires

Wide fires broke out on the Greek island of Crete, as firefighting efforts continue to control the flames that have covered an area of up to 15 kilometers. The region has been exposed to strong winds reaching speeds of 115 kilometers per hour, making it more difficult to combat the fires. The fires have resulted in the evacuation of around two thousand tourists, as well as the destruction of homes, agricultural lands, olive farms, and livestock. The flames are still active in several areas, including the city of Rethymno and the Peloponnese peninsula, despite some improvement in certain regions. Efforts are ongoing amid forecasts of fierce winds until the end of the week, which threaten to sustain the fires. Officials warn that the situation is not yet fully under control, with areas still at very high risk.
