Fierce wildfires have been raging on the Greek island of Chios since Sunday (22 June) prompting mass evacuations and a state of emergency.

The blazes broke out in multiple spots near Chios town and quickly spread, fuelled by strong winds and scorching heat.

By Tuesday, more than 400 firefighters and aerial crews were battling to contain the flames, which have devastated farmland and threatened the island's prized mastic trees.

Authorities have launched an arson investigation after several fires were found to have started simultaneously.
