To put down the wildfires, some 130 fire engines, 390 firefighters, and 52 water trucks were mobilized in the region of northern Attica, the authority said.

The armed forces have sent 450 soldiers, eight aircraft, 29 vehicles, nine ambulances to support the firefighters.

Government officials said that at the request of the Greek government, aircraft and helicopters from Italy, France and Cyprus were expected to come to help with the operation.

According to latest information from the Civil Protection agency, wildfires were continuing in the areas of Marathon, Drafi, Ano, Kato Souli, Pikermi, Old Penteli, Agios Stefanos, Dionysus and Pallini.

"More than 120,000 stremmas (30,000 acres) have been burnt. It is an ecological disaster," Athens Prefect Yiannis Sgouros told NET TV channel.

This is the most destructive wildfires in Greece since a series of wildfires claimed 77 lives in the country in 2007.

Two children's hospitals in the area were evacuated following the order of the General Secretariat of Civil Protection.

Greek Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis flew in Sunday morning by helicopter to the disaster areas. He urged the people to follow authorities' instructions and keep calm.

The prime minister assured that authorities are taking effective measures to deal with the tough challenge.
