A 26-year-old woman in intensive care for severe burns died at Evangelismos Hospital on Tuesday, raising the number of casualties from the fires in East Attica to 99.
The official death toll from wildfires in East Attica has reached 92, the Greek Fire Brigade announced on Wednesday.
Greece is not the only country unable to deal with extreme weather events and the image of Greece as a disorganised country where an extreme phenomenon will inevitably lead to massive damage and deaths is unfair, Thessaly TEI Deputy Rector Professor Michalis Vrachnakis noted, in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency released on Sunday.
The death toll from the fires in eastern Attica has climbed to 88 as one of the victims that had been hospitalised, a woman aged 42, passed away early on Saturday.
