Fears are growing for an Irish couple caught up in Greek wildfires which have killed at least 76 people.

Newlywed Brian O'Callaghan-Westropp and Zoe Holohan married last Thursday before travelling to Mati in Greece on their honeymoon.

The pair got separated in the panic while trying to escape flames in the seaside resort of Mati on Monday.

Zoe is now being treated for burns in hospital while her new husband is still missing.

A doctor walks the charred streets of Mati, a seaside resort town east of Athens.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed it's offering consular assistance to a number of Irish citizens in Greece.
