Åsa Agdestein

Åsa Agdestein is the Norwegian honorary consul in Marseille, providing support and assistance to Norwegians in the region. In light of the recent forest fire that has swept through parts of Marseille, she has been in contact with local colleagues to assess the situation and the impact on the community. Although she was not in the city during the crisis, she reported that some companies have sent employees home due to difficulties breathing from the smoke. Agdestein highlighted the concerns of residents, particularly those living near the fire, as strong winds have exacerbated the situation.
