Portugali tabas nädalavahetusel lähiajaloo ohvriterohkeim looduskatastroof, riigi keskosas möllavates maastikupõlengutes on hukkunud vähemalt 62 inimest, teatasid võimud eile.

Paljud ohvrid olid põgeneda püüdes maanteel autodesse lõksu jäänud.

Tulekahju puhkes üleeile Kesk-Portugalis Pedrógão Grande piirkonnas ja hakkas sealt mitmesse suunda levima. «Paljud autod ei pääsenud välja ning inimesed põlesid omaenda autodes surnuks,» rääkis siseministeeriumi esindaja Jorge Gomes eile televõrgule Televisão Independente.
