Israeli firefighters continued their efforts to quell wildfires in Haifa on Thursday, with the blaze entering its third day after breaking out near Jerusalem on Tuesday.

Some 30 people suffering from mild injuries have been hospitalised. According to Haifa municipality spokeswoman Or Doron, some 50,000 of the city's 250,000 residents have been evacuated as a result of the blazes, which are likely to continue until the end of the week due to the dry and windy weather.
