Firefighters in Greece found 18 burnt bodies Tuesday, reportedly belonging to a group of migrants who had crossed into the Balkan nation's northeast from Turkey.
Firefighters on Tuesday found the bodies of 18 suspected migrants in wildfire-ravaged northeastern Greece."We must urgently take effective initiatives to ensure that this bleak reality does not become the new normality," Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou said in a statement.
"Given that there have been no reports of a missing person or missing residents from the surrounding areas, the possibility is being investigated that these are people who had entered the country illegally," Artopios said. Overnight, a massive wall of flames raced through forests toward Alexandroupolis, prompting authorities to evacuate eight more villages and the city’s hospital as flames reddened the sky.
Wildfires rage on near Alexandroupolis, in the northeastern Evros region of Greece, Monday, August 21, 2023. "We are mobilizing actually almost one-third of the aircraft we have in the rescEU fleet," said EU spokesman Balazs Ujvari.
