A total of 209 fires have broken out in Greece in just three days. With firefighters stretched to the limit, other European countries have sent resources including water tanks and fire-dousing planes.
One other person was found dead in Northern Greece on Monday, while another died in a separate blaze in central Greece.
The fires have grown thanks to gale-force wind and hot, dry conditions. While the winds are dying down, authorities have warned that the risk of new fires is still high. With their own emergency services stretched to the limit, Greece has sought help from other European countries.
