Wildfires continue to ravage Greece, causing holidaymakers to be evacuated from popular tourist destinations such as Rhodes and Corfu.

About 19,000 residents and visitors have been evacuated from Rhodes alone since the fires began on Wednesday, with fires having reached coastal resorts on the island's southeast.

Tourist companies including TUI and Jet2 have been working to repatriate affected holidaymakers as quickly as possible, with some visitors left to spend the night on the airport floor waiting for flights.

Climate change is being blamed for the increasing intensity of the wildfires, with Greece's Civil Protection warning that practically every region of the country now faces the threat of wildfires.
