Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced Tuesday that Spain will declare a civil protection emergency as wildfires devastate regions including Caceres, Galicia and Castilla-Leon.
According to Xinhua, more than 382,000 hectares have burned this year, with 300,000 lost in the past two weeks. Authorities report four deaths and over 30,000 evacuations.
Sanchez pledged government support for victims and urged stronger climate action to prevent future disasters.
