After two weeks of devastating wildfires in Greece, the blazes are starting to die down, but Firefighters Remain Cautious. Tourists are returning to the Greek island of Rhodes, where some are vacationing on charred beaches. The fires, fueled by a heatwave, led to massive evacuations and the destruction of forests. Fires have also been raging outside Athens and in Rhodes, with five people, including two firefighters, dying. A total of 135,000 hectares were burned in Greece, Italy, Algeria, and Tunisia in just 12 days, affecting around 120,000 people. The wildfires have also impacted over 20,000 hectares of protected areas in Italy and Greece.
