# Twelve people have been killed in a wildfire in Los Gallardos in the southeastern province of Almería in Spain, as a sustained heatwave has caused wildfires across southern Europe. Six people were injured, including a woman who suffered burns. Spanish minister of Presidency, Health, and Emergencies, Antonio Sanz, says the wildfire is the most devastating to date in the region, describing the situation as an unprecedented tragedy. More than 393-thousand hectares burned in Spain last year, the country’s worst wildfire year in recent history.
