A number of Irish citizens are attempting to leave the Greek islands of Rhodes and Corfu which are being destroyed by wildfires.
Temperatures of up to 45C in the last seven days have been coupled with strong gales, leading to a situation whereby forest fires have got out of control. The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has advised anyone in Ireland to avoid travelling to any of the affected areas.
