British Hikers Rescued Amid Wildfire Tragedy | London News
Description
A 93-year-old British woman died from burns after being caught in a deadly wildfire in southern Spain, raising the death toll to thirteen. Four more bodies were found in a burned-out car—likely British, given its right-hand drive. Many victims are believed to be foreign tourists who tried to flee on foot. Amid the tragedy, rescuers found two British hikers alive in a ravine, suffering 40% burns but stable; they were pulled from the ravine just as night fell. Their survival, aided by firefighters and emergency crews, offers a glimmer of hope. The blaze underscores Spain’s extreme heatwaves, with over 1,000 excess deaths this year alone linked to the scorching temperatures. Investigations continue to identify all victims.
