Wildfires Threaten Anzac Cove Graves in Turkey
News summary

Severe wildfires in Turkey are threatening the sacred Anzac war graves on the Gallipoli Peninsula, prompting extensive firefighting efforts from both air and ground crews. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed deep concern over the situation, emphasizing the historical significance of Gallipoli, where 7,200 Australians are buried. The Returned & Services League of Australia is monitoring the fires closely, particularly the safety of the Lone Pine cemetery, which has been closed to visitors for safety reasons. Turkish authorities are actively working to control the blaze, with drone footage showcasing the firefighting operations. The fires have forced the evacuation of nearby villages and have been reported to potentially reach Anzac Cove, a site of immense importance to Australia and New Zealand. As the situation develops, the safety of the war graves and the efforts to protect them remain a priority for both nations.
