Parts of the country, including Sicily, are facing raging wildfires, as are nearby Greece and Turkey.
According to media reports, firefighters carried out more than 500 fires in Sicily and Calabria in just 12 hours.

In the future, there may be some kind of disaster waiting for us, and all mankind really must unite in order to face the crisis together and coexist peacefully with nature.
