Wildfires across Europe have surged by 57% over a four-year period, according to data highlighted by the World Health Organization (WHO). The agency warned that authorities must "prepare for more frequent and intense wildfires" as blazes continue to cause widespread disruption across parts of the continent.

The WHO emphasized that the escalating frequency of vegetation fires poses mounting health and environmental hazards to local populations. Public health officials stressed the necessity of bolstering emergency response frameworks and long-term adaptation measures to limit future damage.
