Thousands of residents have been evacuated from their homes as large wildfires reach the suburbs of Athens, with some flames leaping as high as 25m (80ft).
Homes and properties in nearby towns such as Varnavas as well as northeastern parts of the Greek capital are on fire, including a school in Nea Penteli.
With the sun setting, aircraft working to extinguish the flames have been forced to land, making it a ground operation overnight.
Residents are complaining there are not enough fire trucks and firefighters to help, as Greek authorities request international assistance.
