On-going heat and drought have led to unprecedented wildfires across Europe, causing widespread evacuations and even a death in Spain. Over 260,000 people have been evacuated due to forest fires, with 30,000 put under lockdown measures in France. In Spain, authorities declared a state of emergency in Toledo, addressing the severe conditions (standaard.be). The situation has also caused one fatality in Spain (gva.be). Despite efforts, military reinforcements are being deployed in France to combat the advancing flames.
