Iceland has 33 active volcanic systems, the highest number in Europe, and thousands of tremors have been recorded since the end of October. Some 24,000 tremors have been recorded on the peninsula since the end of October, according to the IMO, with a "dense swarm" of almost 800 earthquakes recorded. Authorities in Iceland have declared a state of emergency after a series of earthquakes rocked the Reykjanes peninsula in the south-west of the country, raising fears of a volcanic eruption in the region. Evacuation plans have been put in place for the town of Grindavik, with a population of around 4,000, located three kilometres south-west of the area where the seismic swarm was recorded on Friday. Early on Friday evening two earthquakes, the strongest of which had a magnitude of 5.2 according to the IMO's initial assessments, were felt as far away as the capital Reykjavik, some forty kilometres away, and along a large part of the country's southern coast.

At least 14 people have died and several remain missing across Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria as torrential rain and severe flooding batter southern Europe. Flooding has claimed at least three lives in mainland Greece, seven in Turkey and left at least four people dead on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coastline. Greece, which has seen particularly intense rainfall, is braced for more flooding as the storm continues on Thursday. A level 2 of 3 warning for severe storms was issued Wednesday for parts of Greece, with threats including torrential rainfall and potentially tornadoes. The storm, which has officially been named Daniel by the national meteorological services in southeast Europe, has lashed the country with several months’ worth of rain, flooding homes, businesses and roads. Four people remain missing in central Greece, the part of the country that has been hit the hardest by the storm. Kikilias noted that the port city of Volos, located around 330 kilometers (190 miles) north of Athens, is still dealing with heavy rains and the aftermath of the flooding, which damaged buildings and cars and caused the collapse of roads and bridges. The port of Volos was non-operational on Wednesday as much of the city remained without electricity. In Turkey, at least five people have been killed in flash floods caused by torrential rain in Kırklareli, in the north-western part of the country, according to state news agency Anadolu. Two of the bodies were found on Tuesday and three on Wednesday. Another two people died in the Istanbul districts of Başakşehir and Küçükçekmece on Tuesday.

Disaster Relief: Providing shelter, food and water. More than 3,000 people have been evacuated since Wednesday as wildfires continue to tear through the Spanish Canary Island of Tenerife, a popular tourist destination The blaze has burned some 2,600 hectares (around 6,424 acres) so far and the region’s leader Fernando Clavijo said Wednesday night that the fires were burning “out of control. It is probably the most complicated fire that we have had on the Canary Islands in the last 40 years,” Clavijo told journalists at a press conference on Thursday, according to local media. More than 370 personnel and 17 firefighting aircraft have been deployed to control the blaze. Thousands more residents of Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands have fled their homes as a wildfire that authorities deemed “out of control” raged on for a fourth day. The regional government for the Canary Islands said that 4,000 more people were ordered to evacuate on Saturday. Those were in addition to the 4,500 people who on Friday were forced to move out of harm’s way on the Atlantic Island that is home to around a million people and is also a popular tourist destination. That figure of more than 8,000 evacuees is expected to rise, and perhaps sharply. The Canary Islands have been in drought for most of the past few years, just like most of mainland Spain. The islands have recorded below-average rainfall in recent years because of changing weather patterns impacted by climate change. Emergency services for the Canary Islands said later that the number of evacuees “could surpass 26,000” according to provisional calculations based on the island’s census. The service added that all those people who needed somewhere to take refuge would be directed to shelters.

The villages that were asked to evacuate in Rhodes -- Eleousa, Salakos and Dimylia -- were among many threatened by fires across the country, including fast-moving blazes near Athens, the capital, Greek officials said. Nikolaos was deployed in Kouvaras, a village about 25 miles south of Athens, an area where evacuations were also underway. Three firefighting teams from Poland, Romania and Slovakia also arrived, the agency said. Other teams from Romania, Bulgaria and Malta, which were already in Greece when the fires started, were also helping.
Victim of Violence: Providing support to the family. France was bracing for further unrest on Wednesday evening following the death of a 17-year-old boy who was allegedly shot by police during a traffic stop. The incident triggered violent protests in several suburbs of Paris overnight on Tuesday, during which 24 police officers were injured and 40 cars were set alight. An extra 2,000 police officers were mobilized Wednesday afternoon in anticipation of the violence stretching into a second evening. The officer who allegedly shot the teenager was put in custody on Tuesday after the boy, identified as Naël, died after being pulled over at a traffic stop in the Parisian suburb town of Nanterre. The officer will remain in custody for another 24 hours to undergo questioning by prosecutors, Nanterre prosecutor’s office told CNN.
