Wildfires in Greece have killed at least 60 people, with officials declaring a state of emergency. More than 100 people have also been injured as the blazes destroy homes, cars and forests. On Tuesday morning, the Red Cross discovered 26 bodies between two homes in the coastal town of Mati - and officials fear they became 'trapped in the flames' as they tried to escape to the sea. Greece's interior minister, Panos Skourletis, has described the wildfires as a 'national tragedy' and a 'biblical disaster with human losses'. The fires sent hundreds of people, including tourists, racing to beaches to be evacuated by navy vessels, yachts and fishing boats.
