Belgia, lovită de unul dintre cele mai grave incendii din istoria sa: UE a mobilizat elicoptere și avioane. Sute de săteni, evacuați

In eastern Belgium, hundreds of residents were evacuated due to a severe forest fire, described as the worst in the country's history. The fire, which started in the High Fens park, rapidly spread, destroying over 2,700 hectares. Emergency services from across the country and the EU were mobilized to combat the blaze. Local authorities warned that the rugged terrain hindered firefighting efforts. Residents in nearby villages were advised to evacuate or stay indoors. The Belgian government activated the EU civil protection mechanism for additional support. The fire coincided with a heatwave, with temperatures reaching 37 degrees Celsius.
