Wildfires still not under control

A while ago, Greece faced the wild fires on the island of Skyros. Those have been contained but new fires broke out in other parts of the country.

The fire on the island of Rhodes have not yet been contained and it already destroyed 1,500 ha of agricultural terrain and forest, while the fire in suburbs of Athens was contained yesterday.
