It could be a shepherd who has been missing for 48 hours.
The fires that engulfed Greece require victims. On Tuesday, a Canadair-type water bomber crashed in the south of Euboea while fighting a flame. Both pilots were killed. And at the beginning of the evening, a police spokeswoman said that a burnt man was found on the same island, probably the victim of a flame that engulfed thousands of hectares of forest.
Police unit on site
“Man’s body was found charred”she confirmed to AFP. “A police detachment leaves the place to check if it is a shepherd who has been missing since Sunday”when forest fires broke out on the island of Euboea (Evia in Greek), near Athens, she further elaborated.
Greece has been battling wildfires decimating its flora for days now as the country endures a lingering heat wave. “We are experiencing the consequences of the climate crisis”This was announced on Tuesday by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. “We have a tough summer ahead of us.” In Athens, which has been suffocating for more than a week, the thermometer read 38°C in the middle of the day, and the temperature felt was 41°C. In the center of the country, a temperature of 44°C was recorded in the middle of the day, according to the national weather forecast.
