THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE KILLER WILDFIRE IN ATTICA


In Memoriam





On Monday, the 23rd July 2018, an enormous wildfire raged through the forests of Mati, Kokkino Limanaki and Kinetta, near Athens.    Unfortunately, a hundred-and-two people, including children of all ages, and many animals were tragically burned to death, mainly at Mati.  Also, most of the residents' homes were smouldered to ashes.

Our heart goes out to the victims'  families and friends for their unbearable loss.  Also our warmest wishes to the injured, who after a whole year are still suffering, for a thorough recovery.

We shall never forget this great national disaster, and we pray and hope that we should learn through our faults and gain the power to prevent such dramatic tragedies in the future.
