Firefighters in Spain are still working to contain wildfires that have burned nearly 200,000 acres across the country since last week, according to authorities.
The country faces another round of extreme heat starting Wednesday, with temperatures expected to surpass 100 degrees Fahrenheit in many regions.
Officials warn that the heat wave could exacerbate wildfire conditions, prompting renewed efforts to control the blazes and prevent further damage.
Meanwhile, political leaders are debating the role of climate change in fueling such extreme weather events, with some emphasizing the need for urgent policy action.
