Thousands evacuated as deadly wildfires sweep Europe
Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes as deadly wildfires continue to burn across southern Europe amid a record-breaking heatwave. Firefighters worked through the night to contain a blaze which broke out near Madrid in Spain. A man caught in the fire in Tres Cantos, near the Spanish capital, died in hospital after suffering 98% burns. Blazes also erupted across several Spanish regions, including Castile and Leon, Castile-La Mancha, Andalusia and Galicia. Spain's interior ministry declared a "pre-emergency", putting national services on standby to support firefighters. Almost 1,000 members of the country's armed forces are already helping. Temperatures are expected to reach 44C (112.2F) in some parts of the country, according to forecasters. In Portugal, more than 700 firefighters were working to control a fire in Trancoso, about 217 miles northeast of Lisbon. Smaller fires were burning further north of the country. "We are being cooked alive, this cannot continue," said Vila Real mayor Alexandre Favaios. A fire in the Portuguese city has been burning for 10 days. Firefighters were also battling several wildfires across Turkey on Tuesday, including in the northwestern province of Canakkale, forcing hundreds of residents to flee their homes. Blazes forced the temporary closure of Canakkale Airport, and also the Dardanelles Strait to shipping. Wildfires in Greece forced the evacuation of several villages and a hotel on the tourist islands of Zakynthos and Cephalonia in the Ionian Sea, along with four other parts of the mainland. "Winds are strong and the wildfire is out of control," Zakynthos mayor Yiorgos Stasinopoulos told Greek public broadcaster ERT.

Global warming is giving the Mediterranean region hotter, drier summers, scientists say. Europe is warming faster than any other continent, with temperatures increasing at twice the speed of the global average since the 1980s, according to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service. Last year was the hottest year on record in Europe and globally, the monitoring agency said.
