Strong winds have fanned multiple wildfires in southern Turkey killing at least four people and sending many others to hospital as homes burned down in the blazes.
A wildfire that broke out on 28 July near the Mediterranean coastal resort town of Manavgat, in Antalya province, had largely been contained, but another fire that started early Thursday and swept through the district of Akseki kept firefighters engaged.
Agriculture Minister Bekir Pakdemirli said a hotel/resort was also being evacuated near the tourist city of Bodrum, some 300 kilometres west of Antalya as new fires broke out across the southern coast.
