In Greece wildfires have been burning in Rhodes for six days now and tens of thousands of people have fled villages and resorts on the Greek island.

There have been no casualties directly as a result of the fire, but two pilots have died fighting it.
The Guardian's Greek writer Helena Smith spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
