‘We shouldn’t be here’: British tourists tell of nightmare in Rhodes fires

Travel company Tui criticised for still flying holidaymakers out to Greek island on Saturday night

British tourists said they had been left in “a living nightmare” after wildfires caused the emergency evacuation of 19,000 people on the Greek island of Rhodes.

More than 3,000 people were rescued from beaches and another 16,000 taken to safety on land as flames intensified in the south-eastern region of the island on Saturday.
