Summary
"And these days are extremely difficult," Kyriakos Mitsotakis wrote on social network Facebook, referring to the "extreme weather conditions and winds" that often reach 100 kilometers per hour, quotes the AFP agency. According to that French news agency in Greece, firefighters are currently facing several fires simultaneously, stressing that they are mobilized in Porto Germeno about 500 operatives and another 100 fight another fire in Aigialia, in the north of the Peloponnese peninsula. In full tourist season, in just a week, over 12,000 hectares of forest and agricultural land have been ravaged by the flames in Greece, which has been heavily affected by the climate crisis, like the whole Mediterranean region.
Furthermore, The country is now at the highest level of alert, at a time when a fire which broke out on Friday in Porto Germeno, about 70 kilometres northwest of Athens, on the shores of the Gulf of Corinth, concerns the population and authorities. The Greek Minister of Civil Protection, Evangelos Tournas, declared on Saturday that firefighters were "taken to the limit", recalling that three firefighters died this week in the performance of their duties: two in Crete and one in Peloponnese. Usually plagued every summer by fires due to frequent heat waves and drought, Greece had so far escaped the great fires at the beginning of the summer season, unlike what happened in France and Spain.
In addition, According to the minister, the intensity of the winds created "extremely difficult conditions, causing numerous situations in which the planes could not collect water or discharge due to heavy turbulence".
