Global Wildfires, Migrant Crisis, and War in Weekly Photo Roundup

The Guardian's weekly photo gallery captures a world in crisis, from devastating wildfires in California and Washington state to a record-breaking heatwave in Europe. In Hopland, California, firefighting helicopters battle the Feliz fire, while in Spokane, Washington, the Old Trails fire has destroyed hundreds of buildings, forcing 60,000 to flee. Aaron Farinacci has been arrested and charged with first-degree arson for the Old Trails fire. In Greece, firefighters race to extinguish blazes in Zachouli and Megara, as the EU experiences record heat for this time of year. Italy has placed all 27 major cities under the highest heat alert amid a fourth heatwave. The gallery also documents the migrant crisis in Ceuta, Spain, where over 70,000 crossed from Morocco, with at least 88 deaths reported. In Gaza, Ibrahim al-Dabba tends to beehives on a destroyed building, his beekeeping business lost to war. In Ukraine, a Russian airstrike on Zaporizhzhia and a missile attack on Kyiv kill at least 17, with President Zelenskyy blaming allies for slow air defense deliveries. The gallery also features lighter moments: a cricket match on parched Hackney Marshes in London, a praying mantis in a drought-stricken cornfield in Italy, surfers honoring earthquake victims in Venezuela, a ballet rehearsal in Cape Town, divers at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris, and the release of a female Amur tiger in Kazakhstan. Finally, Nigel Farage campaigns in Clacton-on-Sea for a byelection.
