Greece battles wildfires - could get worse
In recent weeks, Greece has been struggling with forest fires. But there is a risk that the worst is yet to come, writes AFP.
During Sunday, a forest fire broke out southeast of Athens. At 12:30 p.m., residents were asked to evacuate several areas near the capital.
