Greek Fires Extinguished, Two Dead in Turkish Wildfires | JQJO

Greek wildfires on Crete and near Rafina have been extinguished, resulting in no casualties despite evacuations of thousands. Crete's fire, near Ierapetra, burned forest and olive trees but caused no deaths. The Rafina fire, near Athens, damaged some houses and vehicles. In contrast, two deaths were reported in Turkiye due to wildfires near Odemis and Cesme, where thousands more were evacuated. Both countries are experiencing hot, dry weather, and experts link the increased wildfire intensity to climate change.
