Greece began counting costs after a week’s destructive fire

Athens: Greek Authority has begun to assess damage from forest fires that have destroyed large forest plots and forced thousands to escape from their homes for the past week, when the fire caught fire in many parts of the country on Monday.
The biggest front is on Evia Island, east of the capital, which has so far forced the evacuation of dozens of villages and thousands of people, while fire swallowed forests and houses in the north of the island.
Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, was caused by the minister’s meeting seat on Monday about the steps of assistance for those who lost property in the fire.
“Our goal is to complete inventory as soon as possible, to immediately begin the process of compensating our fellow citizens who are affected,” the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation said in a statement.
At Evia, the second largest island of Greece located not far from the land, the water bomb plane struggled to operate because the large feathers of the smoke enveloped the area, the authorities said.
The fire broke out during the worst Heat wave of Greece in three decades last week, with a temperature of Sarti and dry heat caused a box condition.
The temperature is rather cold but is expected to rise back for a week, which means the risk of flare-up remains high.
In Athens, officials began to assess damage due to the fire which ripped off several suburbs of northern city last week before starting to recede on Saturday.
The fire, which broke at the foot of Mount Parthina’s hill on the outskirts of the capital, sent thousands of people to run away and damage home and business and thousands of hectares of forest land.
Greece has received assistance from a number of European countries to help fight the flame and more than 600 firefighters tried to load the fire at Evia on Monday.
More than 2,000 residents and tourists have been evacuated by Ferry since the last Tuesday.
