The number of victims from floods in Greece is increasing

The confirmed death toll from recent floods in central Greece rose to 15 after the bodies of four people previously considered missing were found on Sunday.

According to Greek media, three of the bodies were found in villages near the town of Kardita in western Thessaly. It is about an 88-year-old woman and her 65-year-old son, who were found in their home, as well as a 58-year-old man, whose body was found between two villages.

The coast guard said on Sunday that the body of a 42-year-old man, missing since Tuesday, was found floating in the sea near the town of Volos. He was last seen in his car unable to control it in the raging waters.

Greece's fire service said it had evacuated around 3,500 people since floods hit central Greece on Tuesday. Rescue efforts continue.

Flooding appears to have subsided, although the Pineios River, the main waterway in Thessaly, is rising at its mouth, Fire Service spokesman Yiannis Artopios said on Sunday evening.

The coast guard said it rescued 335 people stranded on the Pelion peninsula between Thursday and Saturday./ CNA
