A wildfire that has been raging on the Greek island of Rhodes has entered its sixth day, forcing evacuations and causing concern for holidaymakers.

Coastguard vessels and more than 30 private boats have evacuated at least 2,000 people, including tourists, from beaches in the southeastern part of the island.

Authorities have warned that the situation could get worse on Sunday, with highs of 45 degrees anticipated to present a very high risk of further wildfires.
