The wildfires have caused widespread damage in Portugal

The wildfires have already caused widespread damage in Portugal. Over 100,000 hectares of land have been burned, and dozens of homes and businesses have been destroyed. The fires have also caused air pollution, which has forced many people to stay indoors.

The wildfires are being fueled by a combination of factors, including high temperatures, strong winds, and dry vegetation. The fires are expected to continue to burn for several days, and could spread to other areas of Portugal.

Greece has a long history of fighting wildfires

Greece has also been involved in a number of international firefighting efforts, and has sent assistance to other countries that have been affected by wildfires. The country's assistance to Portugal is a demonstration of its commitment to helping other countries in times of need.
