Turkey Wildfires: Helicopters And Planes Try To Douse Huge Blaze; 50,000 People Hit So Far| Izmir

Turkey is battling dozens of wildfires amid an early European heatwave, with strong winds fanning flames across multiple regions. In Izmir, wildfires forced the closure of Adnan Menderes Airport and led to mass evacuations, with over 50,000 people displaced—42,000 from Izmir alone. Firefighters continue to struggle against the blazes in Izmir, Antakya, and Hatay, as drone footage shows residential areas engulfed and emergency teams racing to contain the crisis.
