Two die in car during Cyprus wildfire as 44C heat expected

Two people have tragically died in a car during a Cyprus wildfire with temperatures expected to reach 44C. More than 250 firefighters are battling the blaze, which has destroyed homes and ravaged 100 sq km of land. Cyprus has requested support from neighboring countries and the EU's civil protection mechanism to aid in the firefighting effort, as witness testimonies suggest the fire may have been started deliberately.
