Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - ATHENS — Greek authorities on Friday declared a state of emergency in parts of Ierapetra municipality after a massive wildfire ravaged eastern Crete, damaging farmland, infrastructure, and prompting the evacuation of over 1,000 people.
The fire, which broke out on Wednesday amid dry and windy conditions, scorched thousands of acres of agricultural land and forest along the island’s southern coast, according to local reports.
The blaze inflicted severe damage to water-supply systems and other critical infrastructure, while displacing residents and tourists alike, the Greek daily To Vima reported.
Officials said the emergency declaration will remain in effect until October 2 to facilitate crisis management and accelerate recovery efforts in the affected areas.
