Forest fires in Spain and Italy

Wildfires have caused significant destruction in southern Spain and northern Italy, leading to evacuations and loss of life. In the province of Almeria, Spain, over 1,400 people were evacuated after a fire broke out near the village of Los Gallardos. At least 12 people died, including several British and Belgian citizens, and eight others were injured, with seven still missing. The fire burned through approximately 6,600 hectares of land. In northern Italy’s Piedmont region, wildfires have destroyed between 800 and 900 hectares of forest, resulting in the loss of around 700,000 trees and threatening local wildlife. These fires are attributed to prolonged heat and dry conditions since late May, exacerbated by strong foehn winds and lightning strikes during thunderstorms.
