Massive wildfires tore through Greece on Tuesday, killing more than 50 people — including 26 at a seaside resort.

The forest fires raged near the capital of Athens, burning homes and injuring more than 150 people, according to Agence France-Presse.

“We are dealing with something completely asymmetric,” Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said.

Authorities initially reported that 24 people were dead around Athens.

Early Tuesday, the Red Cross said they found the bodies of 26 dead at a villa in the coastal town of Mati, AFP reported.

“Mati doesn’t even exist as a settlement anymore,” one woman told Greece’s Skai TV. “I saw corpses, burned-out cars. I feel lucky to be alive.”

Greece issued an urgent appeal for help to tackle fires that raged out of control.
