00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotpot website.
00:03 Since mid-July this year,
00:07 many parts of Greece have been hit by extreme high temperatures,
00:09 dry weather and strong winds,
00:12 which has caused large-scale wildfires.
00:13 In just one month,
00:15 there was a second wave of deadly fires.
00:18 Greek fire department said
00:19 there were more than 60 fires in the past 24 hours.
00:24 They found 18 burnt bodies in rural areas in northern Greece.
00:29 They are currently investigating their identities.
00:32 But the authorities believe that the victims
00:35 may be refugees from Turkey.
00:39 The fire has spread to several villages in Greece.
00:42 Many houses were burned down overnight.
00:46 Under the influence of high temperatures,
00:47 the fires in many parts of Greece have been spreading.
00:50 Especially in the capital Athens,
00:52 under the sun and the intense light,
00:55 the sky is red.
00:57 Many people have taken out their phones to record this moment.
01:01 The video was shot in the port city of Greece,
01:03 in the city of Erisandoloupolis.
01:04 There were heavy wildfires in the area since last Saturday,
01:07 which forced 65 patients in the hospital to evacuate,
01:11 including newborns.
01:13 A wheel was converted into a temporary hospital
01:15 to temporarily accommodate these patients.
01:17 Rescuers found 18 burnt bodies
01:20 in the forest where the fires had burned.
01:23 The fire had been burning for four days
01:24 due to the discovery of the bodies in the area.
01:27 There are no reports of missing people in the surrounding area.
01:29 The authorities are investigating
01:31 whether these people are illegal immigrants.
01:33 In the village of Alexandroupolis,
01:35 under local control,
01:37 by the authority of the fire department,
01:39 in the wider area of Avada,
01:40 18 people were found to be close to the ashes.
01:45 Given that there has been no statement of disappearance
01:47 or unknown residents from the surrounding areas,
01:51 the possibility of people entering our country
01:53 is being investigated.
01:56 Due to the uncontrollable fire,
01:57 many European countries, such as Romania,
01:59 have decided to send a large number of firefighters
02:01 to Greece to help put out the fire.
02:03 Turkey, a Greek neighboring country,
02:06 has also been affected by the fire.
02:08 A forest was burned to the ground
02:11 and smoke was covering the sky,
02:12 as if it were the end of the world.
02:14 The strong wind has increased the fire,
02:16 causing damage to all the houses in the forest.
02:19 People can only watch their houses being burned.
02:22 As the night falls, the fire gets bigger and bigger.
02:24 Firefighters climb to the roof
02:26 to try to put out the houses that have been burned by the fire.
