The EU has announced that it is planning to send planes to help combat wildfires in Greece after the country’s government requested help from other member states.

Hundreds of firefighters have been deployed to try and contain wildfires on several fronts around Athens as people are being forced to leave their homes.

Other parts of Europe are also experiencing wildfires with Spain and Italy among the worst affected countries.

If you’ve been affected by wildfires in Greece or other parts of Europe, or are working to combat them, we would like to hear from you.
