The death toll from Monday’s wildfires on the east and west coasts of Greece’s Attica region has risen to 81, according to the Fire Brigade Department on Wednesday. Nearly 200 people have been injured.
The toll increased from 76 to 81 when a person succumbed to his injuries at a hospital while four other bodies were found around the region. Rescue workers continue to search charred homes and burned-out cars, foreign media reports.
Greek media have described the disaster as a “national tragedy,” while Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras cut short a visit to Bosnia and announced three days of national mourning.
