According to the Spanish broadcaster RTVE, there are still seven injured people from the fatal fire in the hospital. Three of them are in critical condition. The fire broke out on Thursday afternoon and raged in the southern province of Almería.
Earlier on Sunday, the spokesperson for Foreign minister Maxime Prévot stated that there is reason to believe that there are three Belgian victims of the forest fires in Andalusia, after no contact had been made with the missing Belgians.
The fire has now been “stabilised”, and the last evacuees are allowed to return home. “It’s a bit frightening, because you constantly hear stories — not only about houses but also about people. Then you realise that we are truly lucky that we are okay…”, said 33-year-old Belgian Lore Van Moll, who lives in the region, to the AFP news agency. “It’s a huge relief.”
