Thousands of Greeks on the outskirts of Athens have fled their homes on Friday as a resurgent wildfire burned homes north of the capital, with firefighting crews struggling to stop the blaze from spreading.
“We are continuing our efforts, hour by hour, to tackle multiple fires today,” Deputy Civil Protection Minister Nikos Hardalias said, as authorities ordered the evacuation of more suburbs north of the Greek capital, where wildfires on the foothills of Mount Parnitha burst back into life late on Thursday.
