One of the worst-affected areas, is the village of Mati, east of Athens, where the land is scorched and many buildings are reduced to ashes.
Rescuers are still on a gruelling mission: finding missing people in the village of Mati and surrounding areas devastated by the flames.
As Greece grapples with grief, Mayor of Athens Giorgos Kaminis said:
“I personally I see those kinds of crisis also as opportunities to change the way that we construct, the way that we build our communities, the way we train people, the way that we are ready to confront such crisis must change. And I think this time it will change.”
