Huge respect to Italy, France, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Turkey, Romania and Israel for your support towards us. As a Greek I will never forgive your help in these times towards us. <3

Thank you for sharing this report! I didn’t know!!

[georgepanagiotou]

I have family in Rhodes, five people caught involved in the starting the fire. It’s all jealousy, because Greece is a hotspot for tourism.

[ismail-rqrc]

Get well soon to our Greek friends from Rhodes. We will not forget your help in the earthquake. a Turkish friend

Telling obese, overheated tourists to run will probably not end well. My heart goes out to all those Greeks who have lost all they possess.

Here in Somalia. It is 28-29 all through the year.
In the Arabian Gulf it is 45-55 every day!
We have blue sky every day in Somalia. It's hot but we have dry heat without humidity and its windy.
It's nice!

People have to think before they go any where in that area they knew temperature s were going to be that high hope every one is safr

[serious]

I wish you could stop talking about climate change and research how the areas in which fires are raging today you will find wind turbine farms next year. It is already a reality in Greece and locals know this.

Thats absolute nonsense, every time Greece has a wildfire its blamed on arsonist. Now you want to blame migrants? If you love your country go to Rhodes and assist with the clean up

[lynguy]

If it has beenvgoing for 5 days why so many people only now getting out of thete? Smh

[NuranPowell]

Biz burda fonuyoruk bide kalorifer yakiyoruz Temmuz ayinda da onlarda yaniyir orda 😢

[neverleverland]

Why aren't they getting rid of the fires via air support, its literally an island surrounded by water, and the fire is majority in the mountains. there are no need for firefighters to be close, this is ridiculous.

Who cares about the holiday makers. What about the Greeks who have lost homes

Russia could help the most, but Greece is fighting against Russia.

[BehdinAzadih-hhrj]

Greece denied land for others and now nature denies Greece. Karma is real!

For the Sake of his sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on the whole word. (Divine mercy).

Nederland wordt steeds interessanter als vakantieland! Binnenkort kunnen we heel Zuid-Europa, China en de US verwachten vanwege de menselijke temperatuur hier!
