Bad weather paralyzed life in Greece

Bad weather paralyzed life in Greece

Vasilis Kikilias, Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection of Greece, stated that the rains registered in the country for two days caused unprecedented difficulties in terms of severity and duration.

Kikilias pointed out that the port of Volos was closed for security reasons and stated that the Armed Forces will repair the Kala Nera bridge, which was destroyed due to flooding in southern Pilio.

“I urge everyone to be vigilant 24 hours a day,” Kikilias said. The bad weather conditions are also likely to partially affect the Attiki region (including the capital Athens).” he said. Experts warned about Trikala, Kardiça, Larisa and Magnisia.

2 WANTED LOST

In and around Athens, heavy rains occasionally occurred during the day and traffic was disrupted due to rain.

While one of the three people missing due to the floods has been rescued alive, the other two have yet to be located.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Two people lost their lives in the floods caused by the rains that have affected the country since yesterday.

Hundreds of homes and businesses were inundated due to the flooding, and dozens of vehicles were inundated. Many roads, bridges, hospitals and health centers were also damaged by the flood.

At the meeting held under the leadership of the Greek Prime Minister, Kiryakos Mitsotakis, with the participation of the relevant ministers and officials of the Greek Meteorological Department, the meteorologists stated that the rain that fell yesterday in the country was probably the heaviest in history from the country.
