Thousands of families had to be evacuated due to the wildfires this summer.

Omissions

• The claim understates the scale: reports indicate around 200,000 people were evacuated in south-west France (Gironde and Landes) alone, far more than 'thousands of families'.
• The specific figure of 'families' (as opposed to individuals) is not reported by any source; sources count individuals evacuated, so the exact number of families cannot be directly verified.
• No primary official source (e.g. French Interior Ministry, Sécurité Civile) was located; verification rests on independent news outlets.
