Hundreds of thousands of residents and holidaymakers in France and Spain have been forced to evacuate
Wildfires have forced about 375,000 people to leave their homes in France and Spain.
In France, nearly 260,000 have had to flee, while in neighbouring Spain 116,000 have been evacuated as the wildfires continue to wreak havoc across southern Europe.
Authorities in France have been battling to contain a huge wildfire near Bordeaux, meanwhile, while Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has warned that Spain and the Iberian peninsula were suffering the effects of the climate emergency.
It comes as another heatwave could hit France from Tuesday, with temperatures reaching 40C (104F) in some areas, weather forecasters said.
