🇬🇷 Major Wildfire Continues to Rage in Southern Greece‼️

🔥 A major wildfire that broke out on Sunday near Corinth, about 130 kilometers west of Athens, continues to threaten lives.

🆘 According to the European Union's Earth Observation Programme "Copernicus," more than 400 firefighters, 122 vehicles, 8 helicopters, and 7 tanker planes are battling the flames, which have already burned over 2,600 hectares.

⚠️ On Tuesday, October 1, 2024, authorities ordered the evacuation of the town of Sofiana as the fire continues to spread southward.

📈 This summer, Greece has experienced two waves of extreme heat, with temperatures exceeding 44 degrees in some regions. This, combined with the recorded low levels of precipitation, has led to the drying out of vegetation, increasing the risk of wildfires.
