Wildfires devastate Turkey and Greece in 'worst fire crisis in a decade' - BBC News

Emergency services are working hard to deal with destructive fires across Southern Europe which have been fuelled by strong winds and soaring heatwave temperatures.
The blazes have been raging for over a week and parts of Turkey, Greece, Spain and Italy have been affected.
It's the worst fire crisis Turkey has experienced in a decade, as coastal resorts have been hit and tourists have had to be evacuated to safety.
On Monday Turkish authorities said more than 130 blazes had been contained as firefighting efforts continued.

Prayers yes! And, also, action! Believers from all faiths need to come together to protect creation. We need to recognize that the earth can only support so many humans. We need to fight against Exxon, Shell, and the other fossil fuel companies who have known the danger of global warming for decades, but have lied to protect their profits. We need to fight to save the earth's remaining wild places and biodiversity. We need to help and protect each other. In the United States, after every disaster, disingenuous politicians say that those who were hurt are in their "thoughts and prayers". What hypocrisy! If you believe in a loving God, no matter what faith tradition you hail from, it is time to act for the good of this beautiful earth and all off its creatures.

3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.” 3 Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. 4 Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” 5 The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. 6 When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. 7 This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. 9 Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.” 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.

Hello, first of all, I would like to thank all of you for your support to Greece and Turkey. The situation is not good in Turkey, a lot of animals and trees have disappeared, a lot of our cities are burned, we are trying to stop the fire, but if we put out one, another place will succumb to the flames, this is not due to global warming, they are burning our forests in the country, the forests cannot stand it any longer Muğla Marmaris, Antalya Manavgat, Balıkesir, Istanbul , İzmir, Bursa, Aydın, Isparta, Kocaeli, Mediterranean Aegean Marmara is on fire. I hope we can overcome these fires as soon as possible and those who put these two countries in this situation will be punished. As Greece Turkey, we are with you❤️
