Greece is counting the cost of devastating fires outside Athens that claimed one life, forced thousands to flee their homes and took three days to control.

The country’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has promised swift support for those affected by the fires.

Meanwhile, the country’s fire service has warned against complacency as high temperatures and winds risk flare-ups of further fires.

  6. Shouldn’t you woke Nazis be more worried about locking REAL Britt’s up to protect the migrant cancer you imported?? I’m an American btw and I double dare you limey cowards to do anything about what I just said 🖕🏻🇺🇸🖕🏻

  7. That means a few more greek restaurants will be opening in the uk soon. Might even become the next king of England like prince Phillip. We have had a Pakistani lord mayor of London and a Indian prime minister anything is possible in the uk today you can achieve your dreams here. Unless you are actually British.

  9. The Mitsotakis government is the worst government in recent years. He is incompetent, a fanatical neoliberal, and corrupt to the bone

  11. A study between 1958 and 1972 found on average there were 602 wildfires every year in Greece. They are even mentioned in the Iliad
    The leading cause in modern times was cigarette butts being improperly disposed of.

  18. China 🇨🇳 accounted for 2/3 of new global coal plant capacity in 2023.
    – China built 70 GW of new coal-power capacity last year, almost 20 times the rest of the world's 3.7 GW combined.

  19. Why are we allowed to comment on this, but not on anything important that affects our economy, our lifestyles or our culture? BBC should be ashamed. Once it was a beacon of intelligent, investigative journalism and now it is an apologist for the elitist, metropolitan minority who refuse to discuss the dire effects of mass immigration on the people of these islands. Shame on you.

  20. It's cigarette buds not climate change. Greece was always hot and had wild fires. Earlier where civilization was not invading nature it felt diff6and gave less material loss. Nature rebuilds itself with it's intelligence usually.

  23. These disasters are getting out of hand. Ever heard of Immersive Translate?? It's a tool that supports real-time subtitles and generate them for videos in foreign languages. With the subtitles, you fully understand the video content and naturally learn a foreign language while watching.

  30. L'Uomo deve comprendere la sua piccolezza e cominciare a rivolgersi al Cielo in atteggiamento di adorazione. Io, come amico, vi consiglio di iniziare a pregare. Le circostanze in tutto il mondo sono drammatiche ed è ora che tutti voi riconosciate la necessità di tornare a percorrere la Via di Verità che avete abbandonato: è l'unica capace di condurvi alla Vita.

  39. Wow. God Bless the people of Greece. This really reminds me of the fire that hit Santa Rosa a few years ago in California. It was a wildfire that shifted and burned down almost everything in that city. It's so sad.
