A Greek island in the northeastern Aegean
Greece has faced extreme wildfires across Attica and the Peloponnese, pushing thousands to evacuate and straining emergency services. Firefighters are contending with gale-force winds and high heat as authorities warn conditions will stay dangerous.
Two separate incidents off Greece’s islands Lesbos and Samos have left at least 12 migrants dead after boats capsized during coast guard pursuit and a collision with a vessel. Survivors and authorities are continuing search and rescue efforts as investigations begin.
