Fires in Spain and France, 270 thousand people evacuate

To the southwest of France, near Bordeaux, an estimated 200,000 inhabitants have been evacuated, while the army is committed to supporting emergency operations, writes A2.

In Spain, the number of displaced people has exceeded 60 thousand, while authorities near Madrid warn that the fires are beyond the current fire capacity.

Extreme weather conditions, high temperatures, and strong winds have created the ideal ground for the rapid spread of flames in both countries.

Meanwhile, residents and tourists in the affected areas describe the situation as dramatic, with ashes covered by settlements.
