Greece has been battling wildfires for several days now. It is reported that flames have recently engulfed several homes south of Athens, forcing the evacuation of residents in four neighborhoods. 

Foreign media write that 90 firefighters, assisted by eight aircraft and five helicopters, were stationed in the Palaia Foakaia area in an attempt to extinguish the fire that spread as a result of strong winds.

The exact number of people who fled their homes remains unclear, while fire services continue to work to neutralize and extinguish the flames.
