Over 2.5 lakh people flee as Europe battles wildfires

More than 2,50,000 people have been forced to flee as wildfires continue to engulf massive stretches of western France and central Spain. Firefighters said the blazes are so intense they cannot be tackled head-on. On France's Atlantic coast, around 44,000 people were evacuated from the Cap Ferret peninsula, many of them by boat.
