On Thursday, family members helped identify those who died in the forest fires in Greece, writes AFP. Rescuers are still looking for people who have been missing by relatives this week. Until now, 30 people have been identified. 187 people were transported to the hospital, many of whom are children. Of the 2,500 homes affected by the fires, half would be uninhabitable.
82 people were confirmed to have died in fires at the present time, making it the deadliest fire of Europe in the twentieth century.
The government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipra promised compensation to those affected. At the same time, the anger of the population is increasing.
How was this possible?
The opposition newspaper Ta Nea accused the Tispra government of asking for "forgiveness for their sins" through the compensation program. Even the Greek newspaper Kathimerini is critical and has published details of a chaotic meeting in April when authorities reportedly "interfered with each other instead of organizing a plan to fight against # 39; fire. "
Fights to extinguish fires
Fires broke out on Monday and hit several villages on the coast, popular with tourists. Many forced to escape into the ocean to escape the flames.
The worst is Mati's station outside of Athens. In a villa on the village beach, rescuers found 26 dead. They were both adults and children who, according to information, should have kissed during their death.
Rescue personnel are still fighting to put out fires in areas outside of Athens.
