Wildfires are burning through the night in Eastern Europe with more than 50 blazes in Greece alone forcing families to be evacuated from their homes.

Chaos broke out across the country on Sunday as temperatures soared to 44C which, paired with dry conditions and strong winds, has been causing fires across the continent.

Two houses became engulfed in flames in Drosopigi, a village near Athens, forcing residents to flee their homes.

At least five locals were rushed to hospital to be treated for their burns and smoke inhalation following the terrifying blaze.
