Tour operators began flying home holidaymakers as wildfires raged on the Greek island of Rhodes on Monday and officials said the threat of further fires was high in almost every region of the country. Fires burning since Wednesday on Rhodes forced the evacuation of 19,000 people over the weekend as an inferno reached coastal resorts on the island’s southeast. A wildfire also forced evacuations from the island of Corfu. FRANCE 24’s correspondent Nathalie Savaricas reports from Athens.
