Greece Struggles To Contain Wildfires

Greece, Volos, July 27th 2023 - Ground firefighting forces were not able to approach the flames at the top of the hill, near Velestino (Sesklo village) and the winds were strong. Villagers were impatiently waiting for the daylight so the waterbombers could operate again. (Photo by Maria Chourdari/NurPhoto)
