Thousands flee wildfires in France and Spain
Massive wildfires in southwestern France and central Spain forced the evacuation of approximately 200,000 people on Friday, with flames spreading rapidly due to high temperatures and drought conditions. In France, 141,000 residents fled from the Gironde and Landes departments, while 60,000 were evacuated in central Spain. Authorities reported dozens of firefighter injuries, but no fatalities have been confirmed amid the chaos as townspeople escaped by car and boat.
