ATHENS, Sept 17 — Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis yesterday announced a further 300 million euros to fight the effects of climate change, acknowledging the scale of the crisis facing the country.
“Over a two-week period, we experienced the worst wildfire and the worst floods in our history,” he added.Reconstructing infrastructure was urgent, said Mitsotakis, announcing a 300-million-euro boost to a special fund for tackling the effects of climate change, bringing the total to 600 million. DNA lab tests confirmed that two of the bodies found last week belonged to an Austrian couple missing for more than a week, said police sources.The floods this week in the Thessaly region caused by Storm Daniel also drowned 110,000 farm animals and wiped out a quarter of Greece’s annual agricultural production, say experts.
Fires across Greece this summer killed at least 26 people, most of them migrants trapped in a forest near the north-eastern border with Turkey.
