    Abstract

    In July 2025, Türkiye, and Cyprus faced one of the most severe wildfire crises in recent memory, as extreme heat, prolonged drought, and strong winds created conditions that drove devastating blazes across the Eastern Mediterranean. A record-breaking heatwave, with temperatures soaring above 45°C, intensified fire conditions, forcing mass evacuations, killing and injuring firefighters, and leaving vast swathes of land scorched (IFRC, 2025).
