Important Takeaways:
- Rhodes wildfires ‘out of control’ with new evacuations ordered & 10,000 Brits trapped as flames ravage Corfu
- At least 19,000 locals and tourists have already been rescued from the fire-ravaged island in the biggest evacuation effort Greece has ever seen – with up to 10,000 Brits still stranded.
- Terrified holidaymakers have been forced to flee burning hotels, wade through water and sleep on gym floors – with repatriation flights finally arriving on Monday to rush Brits out of the country.
- Wildfires erupted on the island of Corfu – and Level 5 alerts were issued for Crete amid fears of a similar inferno.
- The deputy mayor of Rhodes, Konstantinos Taraslias, said the fires are still burning out of control after seven days of fighting them.
- More than 16,000 people have been evacuated by land and 3,000 by sea from 12 villages and several hotels – many of them Brits.
- Speaking on Monday morning, Theofanis Skembris, deputy mayor of North Corfu, believes the fires on the island were started deliberately.
- He told the BBC: “There were four fires that started simultaneously.
- “We have to wait for the investigation, but their first unofficial assumption is that it was arson – fires can’t start simultaneously in four different places.
- “The situation in the island is better now. Most of the fires are under control. There are firefighting planes helping.”
