"Greece: Forest fires sweeping Greece have killed 50 people in two days and more were feared dead in villages cut off by towering flames yesterday. Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis declared a state of emergency for the entire country and said the rash of forest fires "can't be a coincidence". He vowed the culprits, an apparent reference to arsonists, would be found and punished.
"All regions of the country are declared in a state of emergency in order to mobilise all means and forces to face this disaster," he said in a televised address to the nation.
The worst fires in Greece in decades broke out on Friday on the southern Peloponnese peninsula and have spread to new fronts, fanned by strong winds and soaring temperatures which have hampered rescue efforts.
Rescuers said they found bodies on the side of the road, in burnt homes and in cars, and a mother still clutching her child.
Two French tourists were reported to be among the dead.
Forest fires also broke out near Athens yesterday, forcing the evacuation of homes and a monastery and closing the motorway linking the capital to the main airport for several hours.
The blaze advanced to the outskirts of the capital but was now partially under control.
Fire brigades struggled yesterday to contain 87 forest fires around the country, in "western Greece, the Peloponnese, the island of Evia and the Attica (Athens) region", fire department spokesman said.
Soaring temperatures, hot winds, drought and arson have been blamed for the unusual number of forest fires this summer.
Worst hit this time was the Peloponnese, where dozens of villages have been evacuated while others remain cut off by flames. The fires stretch 160km from the Ionian Sea in the west to Mani in the peninsula's most southern part.
Meanwhile, a 65-year-old man was arrested in connection with the fire in the southern Peloponnese town of Areopolis, where five people were burned to death on Friday and one firefighter died of a heart attack while battling the flames.
Politicians interrupted campaigning for national elections on September 16 following the fire.
France, Germany and Norway are stepping forward to help Greece battle forest fires, the European Commission said yesterday.
"France is sending two planes. Norway offered an aircraft and Germany three helicopters," the Commission said in a statement."
