Most of the 667 fires that have erupted across Greece in recent weeks were started \u201cby human hand\u201d, the country\u2019s senior climate crisis official has said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 most of the fires could have been prevented, the government claimed on Friday.
Vassilis Kikilias, the Greek minister of climate crisis and civil protection, told reporters: \u201cDuring this time 667 fires erupted, that is more than 60 fires a day, almost all over the country. Unfortunately, the majority were ignited by human hand, either by criminal negligence or intent.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kikilias said that, in certain places, blazes had broken out at numerous points in close proximity at the same time, suggesting the involvement of arsonists intent on spreading fires further.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
