Greece has mounted its biggest evacuation ever, moving thousands of men, women and children from villages and resorts on Rhodes as wildfires fanned by high-speed winds raged for a sixth day.
The country’s fire department said 19,000 people – mostly tourists in hotels – had been moved as blazes continued to spread uncontrollably on three fronts across the Aegean island. About 16,000 were transferred by land, the rest by sea.
