Wildfires across western and southeastern Türkiye have forced the evacuation of more than 50,000 people in 41 areas, with Izmir Province the worst hit. Authorities deployed 1,000 personnel, along with equipment and helicopters, to battle the blazes, but high winds have limited aerial firefighting efforts. Officials reported 263 forest fires over three days amid extreme heat and drought.
