As many as 10,000 Britons are estimated to be on the Greek island - part of which has been ravaged by fierce fires.

It has forced many holidaymakers to sleep in schools and sports centres.

It is unclear what started the fires but extreme temperatures, dry conditions and strong winds across Greece have aided their spread.
