Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Wednesday remotely chaired a meeting on the urgent issues facing the flood-stricken areas in Thessaly, linked to protecting public health, removing floodwater, restoring access to villages, repairing the road network and providing state assistance. The meeting was held at the Operations Coordination Centre in Larisa.
The deluge caused extensive damage in central Greece, and killed at least one person, just as firefighters contained blazes in the north. One area had over 25 inches of rain in 15 hours.
