The fiery nightmare is again being experienced in Greece, with two people losing their lives so far. In Alexandroupoli in the early hours of the morning, flames threatened the city's University Hospital and an ammunition depot. In addition to the Evros front, Rhodope, Kavala, Viotia, Evia and Kythnos are also under fire.


Alexandroupolis is having a difficult time with the fire front threatening the city's university hospital, which has been evacuated since last night, local time, while in the early hours of the morning a message was sent to evacuate four areas around it.

The fire, which has reached 11 kilometers from the center of Alexandroupolis threatening settlements, in addition to the University General Hospital, has resulted in the evacuation of the city's military hospital.
