Türkiye Faces Deadly Wildfire Crisis; Mass Evacuations
Türkiye is facing an unprecedented wildfire crisis, with over 3,000 fires reported nationwide this year and more than 624 in the past week, prompting the largest deployment of firefighting resources in the country's history. The western province of Izmir has been particularly devastated, with strong winds fueling blazes that have killed at least two people, damaged hundreds of homes, and forced mass evacuations and road closures. Over 50,000 people have been temporarily evacuated across affected regions, and dozens have been hospitalized. Some fires remain uncontained, and firefighting efforts continue with the aid of drones, AI technology, and increased air and ground support. Authorities are investigating arson claims by a group alleging ties to Kurdish militants, though these claims remain unverified. The crisis coincides with similar wildfire emergencies in neighboring Greece and Scotland, highlighting the impact of extreme heat and climate change across the region.
