30,000 people forced to evacuate on Greek island, including 2,500 who had to be ferried off beaches
High winds forecast for Sunday are expected to hamper firefighters’ efforts to contain wildfires burning out of control on the Greek island of Rhodes, where about 30,000 people have been forced to evacuate.
The flames have burned for nearly a week on the island, as Greece has been battered by an extended spell of extreme heat that has made it challenging to contain the blaze.
