Greece Wildfires: Over 3,500 People Rescued by Sea and Land; No Casualties Reported

More than 3,500 people have been brought to safety by sea and land, the BBC reports.

According to the information provided by the Ministry of Climate Crisis, there are no victims yet.

Guests of the island are taken to other hotels from the areas of the island affected by the fires.

It hasn’t rained in Greece for a long time. Last weekend, the heat wave, which lasted for several days, was particularly intense due to the drought.

Three hotels in the resort of Kiotari are said to have been destroyed by the flames. The Greek Coast Guard is assisted by locals with private boats that help bring tourists to safety.
