A study by World Weather Attribution linked the increased fire risk to human-induced climate change, which made fire-prone conditions at least 20 times more likely in central Spain and twice as likely in France. The Red Cross is coordinating disaster response as the region faces one of its most destructive wildfire seasons on record.
