中新网北京8月8日电 雅典消息：希腊南部克里特岛当地时间7日爆发大规模野火，强风导致大火向北蔓延。暂无人员伤亡报告。
当地政府表示，火势十分猛烈，已蔓延至一些住宅院落，焚毁了田野和橄榄树林。当地政府已疏散1个村庄，并向附近其他3个村庄发出紧急疏散警报。
据希腊雅典-马其顿通讯社报道，截至当地时间7日晚，当地消防部门已出动190名消防队员、45辆消防车、2架洒水飞机和5架消防直升机投入灭火之中，并将32名林业突击队员空运至灾区。
希腊消防部门称，当地时间7日之内，希腊全境共发生29起森林火灾，其中24起已得到控制，5起仍在继续扑灭中。据美联社报道，今年夏天，希腊全境发生了2000多起野火。该国通过提高消防投入，增加洒水飞机及预警无人机的使用，使得大多数火灾在数小时内即被扑灭。
希腊有关方面称，气候变化所致非季节性高温加重了该国火灾形势，今年野火的频发使该国面临20年以来最高的火灾风险。
希腊南部爆发大规模野火，提醒国际社会关注气候变化对自然灾害的影响。希腊政府表示，将继续加强消防力量，提高应急响应能力，以应对可能出现的更多自然灾害。同时，国际社会也应加强合作，共同应对气候变化带来的挑战。

BEIJING, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — Athens, Greece, reported massive wildfires erupted in the southern island of Crete on Sunday, with strong winds pushing the flames northward. There have been no reports of casualties so far.
The local government stated that the fire was raging fiercely, having spread to residential areas, destroying fields and olive groves. The local government has evacuated one village and issued an emergency evacuation alert for three nearby villages.
According to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency, as of Sunday evening local time, the local fire department has deployed 190 firefighters, 45 fire trucks, two water-dropping planes, and five fire helicopters to fight the flames, and has airlifted 32 forestry rescue team members to the disaster area.
The Greek Fire Service reported that within 24 hours from Sunday, a total of 29 forest fires broke out across the country, with 24 under control and five ongoing efforts to extinguish. According to the Associated Press, Greece has seen over 2,000 wildfires across the country this summer. The country has been able to extinguish most fires within hours by increasing firefighting resources, including more water-dropping planes and the use of warning drones.
Greek authorities have attributed the worsening fire situation to the non-seasonal heat brought about by climate change, with the frequent wildfires this year posing the highest fire risk the country has seen in 20 years.
The massive wildfires in southern Greece serve as a reminder to the international community of the impact of climate change on natural disasters. The Greek government stated that it will continue to strengthen its firefighting capabilities and improve emergency response measures to face potential natural disasters. Additionally, the international community should strengthen cooperation to tackle the challenges brought about by climate change.
