A massive wildfire was burning unabated in northeastern Greece for the 11th day on Tuesday despite the efforts of hundreds of firefighters and a fleet of water-dropping aircraft.
After burning across vast tracts of land, the blaze in the Alexandroupolis and Evros region was mainly concentrated deep in a forest near the border with Turkey, in an area difficult to access. The wildfire has been blamed for 20 of the 21 wildfire-related deaths in Greece last week.
