Wildfires in Turkey, described as Turkey's worst in living memory, started on July 28 amid a ferocious heatwave and raged on for days across more than half of Turkey's provinces. At least eight people and countless animals have been killed and villages and resorts had to be evacuated, with some people fleeing to beaches to be rescued by sea. (AP Photo/Emre Tazegul)
