Euronews: Mass Evacuations in Southern Europe Amid Escalating Wildfires
Rana Atef Thousands of Europeans have been displaced as record-breaking heatwaves fueled devastating wildfires across southern Europe, prompting the European Commission to deliver an unprecedented level of emergency aid. According to Euronews, the Commission revealed that requests for wildfire assistance this week alone have already matched the total number recorded throughout 2024. Mass evacuations were ordered in Greece, Spain, and Portugal as fast-moving blazes threatened towns and villages. In the coastal city of Patras, Greek firefighters battled flames tearing through pine forests and olive groves, struggling to save homes and farmland. Fire Department spokesman Vassilis Vathrakogiannis said the fire risk remains 'extremely high' nationwide, adding that at least 15 firefighters have been hospitalized with burns, smoke inhalation, or exhaustion. Wind-driven fires have already destroyed homes and businesses, while firefighting aircraft raced between blazes on the western mainland, Patras, and the island of Zakynthos. Resources across southern Europe remain under severe pressure, with Athens even dispatching reinforcements to neighboring Albania, where dozens of wildfires rage. Officials there confirmed the death of an elderly man south of Tirana. Spain has declared this wildfire season catastrophic. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed condolences after a volunteer firefighter was killed in Castilla y León, north of Madrid, where more than 8,000 residents from 30 towns were ordered to evacuate. Authorities reported that flames scorched some 38,000 hectares between Zamora and León, leaving one person dead and at least 12 injured. Sánchez warned on social media that the wildfire situation remains 'critical' and urged extra caution. Evacuation shelters across central Spain have reached capacity, forcing some families to sleep outside. Fires also advanced north into rural areas, while Valencia declared a Level 2 emergency after a lightning strike ignited new blazes. Meanwhile, seven fires continue to burn in Ourense, northwestern Spain. In Portugal, thousands of firefighters remain on the frontlines after weeks of relentless flames. The town of Arganil is among the worst-hit, where more than 900 firefighters are battling the spread, alongside other major blazes in Sátão, Sernancelhe, and Trancoso. President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa warned that worsening weather conditions could further intensify the crisis. Despite record losses of forested land compared to last year, Prime Minister Luís Montenegro has so far held back from activating international aid mechanisms, though he admitted the option remains on the table. The European Union has already begun mobilizing support for the hardest-hit regions, including non-member states. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed in a post on X: 'We are rallying support for Greece following its request for assistance, while pre-positioned firefighters are already helping in Spain.' read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Over 50 Dead in Heavy Rains in Pakistan
Israa Farhan More than 50 people have been killed in northern Pakistan following flash floods and landslides caused by heavy monsoon rains, according to the country's disaster management authorities on Friday. The majority of fatalities occurred in the mountainous province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where 43 people lost their lives, provincial disaster management officials confirmed. In the Pakistan-administered region of Kashmir, seven deaths were reported. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has issued a fresh warning of further heavy rainfall in the northwestern regions, urging residents to avoid unnecessary travel in high-risk areas. Monsoon rains account for roughly 70 to 80 percent of South Asia's annual precipitation, providing vital water for agriculture and food security. However, they also bring destruction and loss of life. In 2022, catastrophic flooding during the monsoon season inundated one-third of Pakistan's territory, killing around 1,700 people. Authorities have deployed emergency teams to the affected regions, where many remain trapped under debris from collapsed homes. Rescue operations are ongoing as forecasters predict more rain in the coming days. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
