國際時事跟讀VIP Ep. L055: Wildfires Devastate Multiple European Nations as Heat Fuels Spreading Blazes

Highlights 主題摘要

• Devastating wildfires swept across Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Greece, killing victims and forcing thousands to evacuate from homes and resorts.
• Nearly 1,000 soldiers joined firefighters battling blazes while emergency services reported 77 hospitalizations from smoke exposure in Turkey alone.
• European wildfire destruction has increased 87% above historical averages, with over 400,000 hectares already burned this year.

Deadly wildfires raged across southern Europe this week as extreme heat created perfect conditions for devastating blazes. Spain witnessed its most tragic incident when flames claimed a victim who suffered burns across 98% of his body near Madrid, where firefighters had largely contained the blaze by Tuesday morning. Firefighters and nearly 1,000 soldiers battled multiple fires in regions including Castile and Leon, Castile-La Mancha, Andalusia, and Galicia, while thousands of tourists fled beach resorts at Spain's southern tip. Regional authorities later confirmed some evacuated beachgoers could return to their hotels.

本週致命野火席捲歐洲南部，極端高溫為毀滅性火災創造了完美條件。西班牙發生最慘烈事件，馬德里附近的火勢奪走一名全身98%燒傷的受害者生命，消防員到週二上午已大致控制該處火勢。消防員與近千名士兵在包括卡斯提亞-雷昂、卡斯提亞-拉曼查、安達魯西亞和加利西亞等地區對抗多處火災，同時數千名遊客逃離西班牙南端的海灘度假村。地方當局稍後證實部分撤離的海灘遊客可以返回飯店。

Portugal mobilized over 700 firefighters to combat a major blaze in Trancoso municipality, located approximately 350 kilometers northeast of Lisbon, while smaller fires burned throughout northern territories. The Portuguese emergency response demonstrated the massive scale of resources needed to tackle such widespread destruction across the country's forested regions. French authorities placed most southern regions under the highest heat warning, with some municipalities offering free access to public swimming pools as relief measures for residents struggling with the intense temperatures.

葡萄牙動員超過700名消防員對抗位於里斯本東北約350公里特蘭科蘇市的大火，較小火災則在北部各地燃燒。葡萄牙的緊急應變展現了處理全國森林地區如此大範圍破壞所需的龐大資源規模。法國當局將大部分南部地區列入最高熱浪警戒，部分市政當局為受強烈高溫所苦的居民提供免費游泳池使用作為緩解措施。

Turkey experienced perhaps the most dramatic evacuations when wildfires swept through Canakkale province, forcing 2,000 residents to flee by both land and sea routes. The blaze originated on agricultural land but rapidly spread to forested areas before reaching residential zones, fanned by strong winds that complicated firefighting efforts. Emergency services reported 77 hospitalizations due to smoke exposure, highlighting the serious health dangers beyond direct fire damage. Agriculture Minister Ibrahim Yumakli confirmed that while the major Canakkale fire was largely contained, firefighters continued battling active blazes in western provinces including Manisa and Izmir.

土耳其可能經歷了最戲劇性的撤離，野火席捲恰納卡萊省時，迫使2,000名居民透過海陸等不同路線逃生。火勢起源於農地但迅速蔓延至森林地區後到達住宅區，強風助長火勢使滅火工作複雜化。緊急服務部門通報77人因吸入煙霧住院，突顯了超越直接火災傷害的嚴重健康危險。農業部長易卜拉欣證實，雖然恰納卡萊的主要火勢已大致控制，但消防員仍在包括馬尼薩和伊茲密爾在內的西部各省對抗活躍火災。

Greece faced multiple emergency situations with seven major wildfires threatening cities and tourist destinations. The most serious blaze approached Patras, the country's third-largest city, where firefighters scrambled resources to protect industrial areas and residential neighborhoods. High winds severely hindered firefighting efforts on popular tourist islands Zakynthos and Kefalonia, where authorities remained on standby to evacuate resort complexes if conditions deteriorated further. Greek civil protection services issued over 20 mobile phone alerts with evacuation orders. European wildfire destruction has escalated 87% above historical averages this year, with over 400,000 hectares already consumed according to EU data published.

希臘面臨多重緊急狀況，七場大型野火威脅城市及觀光景點。最嚴重的火勢逼近該國第三大城市帕特雷，消防員緊急調動資源保護工業區和住宅區。強風嚴重阻礙熱門觀光島嶼札金索斯和凱法利尼亞的滅火工作，當局持續待命，若情況進一步惡化將撤離度假村建築群。希臘民防服務發出超過20次手機警報和撤離命令。根據歐盟公布的數據，今年歐洲野火破壞比歷史平均攀升87%，已有超過40萬公頃土地被吞噬。
