Greece has been gripped by a heat wave since early July, with temperatures skyrocketing to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) over the past few days. On July 23, wildfires broke out on the outskirts of the country’s capital of Athens (in Kineta, about 50 kilometers west of the capital, in the East Attica area and near the town of Kalamos). In addition, forests caught fire in other regions of Greece, including the Corinthia area in the region of Peloponnese and the city of Chania on the island of Crete. Nearly 50 people have died in the wildfires. Witness the events unfolding in Greece.
