Wildfires burn near Athens after prolonged drought in Greece

Season 2024 Episode 227 | 3m 08s

In Greece, authorities say lighter winds helped crews tame a wildfire that came within miles of the center of Athens. The blaze killed at least one person and forced multiple evacuations across the city's suburbs. Residents returned to find their homes reduced to ash. As winds picked back up Tuesday afternoon, the region is again on high alert. Sangita Lal reports.
