Corfu has become the latest Greek island to order evacuations from intensifying wildfires, as the first repatriation flights touch down to rescue British holidaymakers. • Authorities in Corfu, a destination for hundreds of thousands of Britons every year to the north-west of the Greek mainland told people in the areas of Santa, Megoula, Porta, Palia, Perithia and Sinies to leave late on Sunday. • Nearly 2,500 people have been rescued from the popular island overnight amid blazes in northern areas, but no houses or hotels have been destroyed so far. • However, the fires are worsening on Rhodes ahead of 45C temperatures expected on Monday. The airline easyJet will operate two rescue flights and a third on Tuesday, carrying hundreds of Britons. • The first repatriation flights from Rhodes arrived overnight and further easyJet, Jet2 and Ryanair flights are scheduled to arrive at Gatwick, Stansted and Bristol on Monday afternoon. • Read your updates here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023... • #greece #wildfire #rhodes • Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
