Forests in Turkey are burning since Wednesday. The death tolls from the fire have risen to at least six.
Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca said 400 people affected by the fires in Manavgat were treated at hospitals and released, while 10 others were still hospitalized. In Marmaris, 159 people were treated at the hospital and one person was still undergoing treatment for burns.
Wildfires are common in southern Turkey in the summer but authorities say the latest blazes have covered a much bigger area.
Turkish meteorological authorities said forecasts pointed to heatwaves along the Aegean and Mediterranean coastal regions. Temperatures are forecast to reach 43 to 47 Celsius (109.4 – 116.6 F) in Antalya next week.
