Macron says "thousands of hectares have been ravaged" by wildfires

French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged the severe impact of ongoing wildfires across France, stating that thousands of acres have been destroyed, homes lost, and lives disrupted. The nation is experiencing a "historic situation" with nearly 100,000 hectares burned and over 167,000 people evacuated, particularly in the Gironde and Landes regions. Macron pledged full government support for rebuilding and repair efforts, thanking emergency responders and international partners for their assistance. The fires, exacerbated by hot and dry conditions, are also affecting neighboring countries like Spain, Italy, and Greece.
