Fire on Greece's Mount Parnitha rages overnight as wildfires burn across the country for a fifth day, forcing hundreds of people to evacuate the island of Evia east of the capital
“Over the past few days, we have been facing a situation without precedent in our country, in the intensity and wide distribution of the wildfires, and the new outbreaks all over ,” he said. “I want to assure you that all forces available are taking part in the fight.”
“With great effort, and I believe with the participation of society, when this nightmarish summer has passed, we will turn all our attention to repairing the damage as fast as possible, and in restoring our natural environment again,” Mitsotakis said. On Friday, shifting winds and new flash points caused the blazes to the north of Athens and on Evia to repeatedly change direction, in some cases returning to burn areas and homes that had narrowly escaped destruction earlier in the week.
