In Turkey, wildfires leave behind charred homes and ashes

The raging blazes have killed several people, injured hundreds and forced thousands to evacuate.

The death toll from wildfires raging in Turkey has risen to six after two forest workers were killed, the country’s health minister said. Fires raging across southern Turkey since Wednesday have burned down forests and some settlements, encroaching on villages and tourist destinations and forcing thousands of people to evacuate. A new blaze erupted on Saturday in the popular holiday resort of Bodrum on the Aegean coast and some residential areas and hotels were evacuated, according to broadcasters.
