Greece is in a state of emergency as more than 91 people have died in what has become Europe’s deadliest forest fire in more than a century, while at least 187 people have been injured and others are still missing.

The majority of casualties from the wildfire have occurred in the areas of Mati and Rafina. In addition, the mayor of Rafina has stated that over 1,500 structures and 200 vehicles have been destroyed by the fire. At least 700 people have been evacuated from the beaches in the Mati and Rafina areas, and an unspecified number of residents in near areas have been evacuated as well.

Since we are currently away from Greece, there is not much we can do to help other than sharing our prays and thoughts with all our friends and families back home. Our hearts go out to all those who have lost loved ones and to those who have been injured in the unspeakably and devastating wildfires.

People in Greece need medicine, food, clean water, clothes and other things. Help however you can. Every little counts.
