Wildfire Tragedy Claims 13 Lives | London News

A 93-year-old British woman died from wildfire burns, raising the death toll in southern Spain to 13. The blaze, which scorched 7,000 hectares in Almeria, erupted Thursday and has now been contained. Authorities are still identifying victims, many of whom are British and Belgian, including Belgian businessman Stanislas Verdonckt, whose family says he was never warned to evacuate. Ten people remain missing, with international help tracking them through DNA samples. Over 1,000 displaced residents have been cleared to return, but officials warn of ongoing fire risks in Andalusia’s summer season. The Spanish PM will visit Monday to assess the damage — a sobering reminder of wildfire’s deadly reach. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
