Israel and Greece deployed aircraft to Cyprus in a bid to help the Mediterranean island tackle the fire. Four bodies were discovered charred near the village of Odos, in the district of Larnaca, east of Arakapas where a large portion of the fires began burning acres of forest and land. The Egyptian government has confirmed the four victims were Egyptian.
