Wildfires continue to devastate Portugal and Spain, with nearly 300,000 hectares burned in Portugal and over 400,000 in Spain, marking record seasons for both countries. In Portugal, firefighters have been injured, and several people have died, while in Spain protests erupt over government failures in fire prevention and management. Across the EU, more than 1 million hectares have burned since January, an area larger than Cyprus.
