Two killed in European wildfires as heatwave intensifies
Europe Scorched: Wildfires Claim Two Lives, Force Thousands to Flee
Blazes rage across Southern Europe as temperatures soar above 40°C.
Two men are dead and thousands have been forced from their homes as wildfires fueled by a relentless heatwave rip through southern Europe. Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and the Balkans all face extreme heat warnings, with temperatures expected to climb past 40°C.
“This is another sign of climate change,” warned one expert. “We are seeing longer, more intense heatwaves that are driving these devastating wildfires.”
The fires have already ravaged landscapes across the region, leaving behind charred ruins and forcing communities to evacuate.
