Firefighters in Turkey were continued to battle five blazes burning for a fourth day on Sunday in several areas across the country’s west. The country's Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate, AFAD, says more than 131 forest fires have erupted in the past week. The authorities blame low humidity, strong winds and high temperatures as exacerbating factors with scientists also blaming climate change for the frequency and intensity of wildfires. Firefighters are tackling the fires on land and from the air, with dozens of aircraft and hundreds of vehicles aiding in the emergency response. #turkeywildfire #turkeynews #wildfire #worldnews #news18 News18 Mobile App -
