Nearly 2,500 more people were evacuated by the Greek authorities from the island of Corfu on Monday as crews fought several wildfires in the heat-battered country.
The largest evacuation effort launched in Greece's history, according to officials, was when a massive wildfire ravaging the Greek island of Rhodes forced hundreds of tourists to leave their hotels on Sunday, CNN reported.
Officials on the Greek island of Rhodes said Saturday they had moved 30,000 people threatened by wildfires to safety, including 2,000 who had to be ferried off beaches.
