In an abandoned quarry in Athens, volunteers are treating hundreds of animals displaced or injured by wildfires that swept through suburbs north of the capital last week.
As the flames spread through woods and leafy residential areas on the city outskirts, thousands of people were told to evacuate their homes and many left without their pets, leaving animals depending on the kindness of strangers.
So far, the site has hosted more than 200 animals - pets and strays - from across Attica, the broader region which includes Athens. More than 500 wildfires broke out across Greece last week during a severe, week-long heatwave. In some parts of the country, including the Peloponnese, fires ravaged huge areas of forestland, killing many animals in their wake.
