Heatwave, wildfires ravage Greece and Italy amid lethal flames
A weeklong heat wave and gusting winds fueled out of control brush fires across Greece and Italy causing at least 11 deaths, evacuations, and hospitalizations. In Greece a 67 year old woman died from smoke inhalation while five more were hospitalized, and in Italy fires forced hospital evacuations in Sicily and water restrictions in Bari as temperatures topped 118 earlier in the week. Army and air support joined firefighting efforts as authorities counted hundreds of fires and warned winds would persist through the weekend.
