Thousands flee raging wild fires in southern Europe
Ille-sur-Têt
Wildfires raged across southern Europe on July 6, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes.
Hundreds of firefighters are battling blazes that have devastated more than 19,000 hectares of land, an area more than twice the size of Manhattan, across Portugal, Spain, France and Greece.
And temperatures are on the rise again, predicted to reach 40 degrees Celsius in parts of a region still suffering the aftermath of a recent record-breaking heatwave.
