Spain Gripped by Violent Wildfires

Several cows surround the 'miracle' tree, on August 17, 2025, in Soto de Viñuelas, Tres Cantos, Madrid (Spain). The real explanation is not "so miraculous": this tree is the only one in the area that provides shade for cattle, and cows usually take refuge there. In doing so, they eat the vegetation and trample the ground, leaving the land bare of grass. This natural clearing of the ground acted as a firebreak, preventing the flames from reaching the tree and saving both the cows and the small green patch around it, while the whole environment burned. It is a symbol of hope after the tragedy of the fire that devastated Tres Cantos last August 11, but it also serves to raise awareness of the importance of grazing and forest management to avoid such destructive forest fires.

Scorching Heat Torments Displaced Families - Syria

Scorching Heat Torments Displaced Families - Syria

Many camp residents in Idlib suffer from the intense heat during the summer, due to the lack of basic cooling facilities and weak infrastructure, which exacerbates their daily suffering. Under the blazing sun, displaced families in makeshift camps across rural Idlib endure extreme summer temperatures on July 29, 2025. With little to no access to electricity, clean water, or ventilation, residents seek shade wherever they can and rely on rudimentary means to cope with the heat. The tents provide minimal protection from the scorching weather, and the absence of proper infrastructure worsens their hardship. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable, as humanitarian relief remains limited in the war-torn region. The heatwave highlights the fragile living conditions faced by thousands displaced by years of conflict, struggling not just with poverty and displacement, but also with climate-related challenges.
