Wildfires - Turkey

Many untouched forests and wild animals have been negatively affected by wildfires across the country, while experts warned against new forest fires in Turkey’s southern and Aegean provinces.

Fires in the Lice and Kulp districts of the southeastern province of Diyarbakır burned forests on July 19 and 20, though officials said they were under control on July 20 morning. A 1200-hectare area has been burned by the fires.

Meanwhile, a fire has started in a forest in the Gülnar district of Mersin province in southern Turkey.
