(BBC) France has evacuated more than 14,000 people threatened by wildfires in the south-west, as fires also spread in Spain, Croatia and Greece.
Authorities in France’s Gironde, a popular tourist region, have evacuated guards from campsites – the tourists left earlier. Fires have spread in the Teste-de-Buch and Landiras areas.
Portugal’s fires are contained for now.
However, the Portuguese authorities say at least 238 people have died from the heat over the past week.
