Rhodes Fires: Greece's largest ever evacuation from blaze



The Greek Island of Rhodes is conducting its largest ever wildfire evacuation, with 19 thousand people, including tourists and locals fleeing the fires.

Some airlines have cancelled flights to the island from the UK but operators are facing criticism for not acting quickly enough.

And Sky News has heard stories of people who have arrived in Rhodes to find their hotel has been evacuated.

    History shows that the Greeks๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท are the smartest nation in the world. They can do everything, they can take loans from the European Union for 678 years in advance and not give them back, they can sell coffee that costs 1 euro, but they manage to sell it to tourists for 5, they can deceive everyone, but they cannot buy helicopters to extinguish fires and train personnel …
    This is a paradox

  2. I am relieved to hear sky news acknowledging the climate IS changing. Everyone in the world should be involved and never try to deny it because of politics. We are all in this together.

  3. Why no debate to whether this was started by arson??
    90% of wild fires in hot weather are started by irresponsible humans. The Globalist main stream media are more than happy believing the majority of people are too stupid to realise that. Maybe they're right ๐Ÿ˜ข

  7. Europe sends weapons to Ukraine and is unable to send a few Canadairs to Greece to put out the fires. The European Union only knows how to blow on the egg, not put it out.

  9. The fire came not by chance.
    It came by the help of the monsters who rule this world and then they send the helicopters to help themโ€ฆ
