Fire in Greece
Wildfires which have been spread by strong winds have struck the Attica region in Greece. The fires have killed at least 80 people and dozens more are missing.
Fifteen fires began on 23 July, in what has been described as the worst fire disaster in Greek record. 1500 homes have been damaged or destroyed.
The worst affected area is nearby Athens, where the villages of Mati, Kokkino Limanaki and Neos Voutzas have reportedly been badly damaged as the fires - spread by winds reaching 120 kilometres per hour - swept the flames through the region, leaving people with little time to escape.
Firefighters working with the armed forces are working to render aid to affected residents and contain the remaining active fires.
