This follows the destruction of almost 310,000 hectares of land in 2022.<br \/>\nThe Spanish government has recently approved a 2.2-billion-euro (2.38-billion-U.S.-dollar) package to help deal with the ongoing drought. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MADRID Around 500 people have been evacuated from their homes due to a wildfire that has so far burned 8,500 hectares of land in the southwestern Spanish region of Extremadura, according to sources from local authorities on Saturday.
