More than 320,000 now evacuated in France and Spain as wildfires continue to spread

More than 320,000 people have now been evacuated across parts of France and Spain as wildfires continue to ravage southern Europe.In southwestern France, more than 220,000 people have been forced to flee their homes after evacuation orders were issued in a further five villages around Bordeaux on Saturday night, as the parched landscape and strong winds helped the area's main blaze spread rapidly, local authorities said.The fire has so far burned through around 42,000 hectares across the region.On Sunday, French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez described the situation as "highly unfavorable," saying the Gironde blaze had become "extremely fierce and unpredictable" in the evening before calming slightly later in the night.The blaze began in the town of Saumos on Tuesday before spreading southwest to the areas of Le Porge and Lège Cap-Ferret later in the week.
