Greece’s Prime Minister has warned the country is “at war” as wildfires stoked by near-record heatwaves continue to ravage the holiday islands of Rhode and Crete, sparking the evacuations of thousands of tourist and local residents.
“We are at war - completely focused on the fires,” Kyriakos Mitsotakis said during a debate in parliament on Monday. “Over the coming days and weeks, we must remain on constant alert.”
