Rhodes fires: ‘We just ran’ say Brit mums as wildfire surrounded their hotel


Two mums trapped in Rhodes have described their horror as they fled from the devastating wildfires spreading across the country.

Abi Davies, along with her husband, their friends and the couples’ two young sons, were forced to run for their lives when they saw flames approaching their hotel.

She said the couples and their “petrified” sons received no help apart from kind-hearted locals.
