Wildfires that were sparked by an electrical fault and whipped up by strong winds have damaged some of the historic ANZAC war graves in Gallipoli, Turkey. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission looks after over 30 cemeteries on the Gallipoli Peninsula, where more than 7,200 Australians are buried – it has had to evacuate staff. On Saturday, PM Anthony Albanese said he is worried because Gallipoli is “sacred ground”. Officials say efforts are ongoing to control the fires and there are plans in place to assess and remediate any damage to the war graves. More than 130 fires have been burning over the last week, mainly in the country’s west, after being served a cocktail of dangerous conditions featuring low humidity, high winds, and high temperatures.
