In a race against time, firefighters backed by the army have launched a massive rescue operation in central Greece, where floods triggered by torrential rains have devastated villages and claimed the lives of at least 10 people.
Fire department spokesman Yannis Artopios reported that more than 2,850 individuals have been rescued since the onset of this adverse weather. However, he emphasised that there are still numerous people in the regions surrounding Karditsa, Palamas, and toward Trikala who are not missing but are trapped by the rising waters. Additionally, six individuals are officially listed as missing, further adding to the urgency of the situation.
