Wildfire hits Evia Island in Greece

A photograph shows the wildfire moving towards the village of Gouves on Evia (Euboea) island, the second largest island on Greece, on Sunday. Hundreds of firefighters fought desperately on August 8 to control wildfires on the island of Evia that have charred vast areas of pine forest, destroyed homes and forced tourists and locals to flee.
