Europe Battles Worst Wildfire Crisis in Decades

Europe is currently battling its worst wildfire crisis in decades. Wildfires spreading one after another in France and Spain have turned thousands of square kilometers of forest area into ashes, while millions of people have been displaced.

Extreme heat, prolonged drought, dry vegetation, and changing wind direction have pushed the fire beyond control. As meteorologists warn that temperatures will rise further in the coming days with no possibility of rain, rescuers are working day and night.
