Greece wildfires fanned by strong winds, killing one

Wildfires fanned by gale force winds in Greece killed one person in the northeastern region of Evros on Monday as authorities warned most regions
faced a high risk of new blazes.
A total of 64 wildfires erupted across Greece in the last 24 hours with authorities ordering the evacuation of several communities in the Evros region, near the border with Turkey.
The body of a man was found in a rural area on Monday evening near the port city of Alexandroupolis in Evros, a local police official told Reuters.
“The body was burned from the fire, probably was a migrant,” the official added.
Many migrants from Syria and Asian countries are using the river border separating Greece from Turkey in Evros to enter the European Union.
