The death toll from the bad weather Daniel is now 10, the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Vassilis Kikilias announced on Friday.

Four other people are missing, while rescue operations continue unabated in various parts of the affected areas.

At the same time, as Kikilias stressed, “the situation in the Pinios River keeps us on constant alert. We need great attention from everyone as flooding phenomena can intensify at any moment.”

He added: “In view of related rumours that have been circulating, I want to make it clear that absolutely no intervention by the central government apparatus has been made at any dam in the area that has caused any redirection of the waters. So beware of fake news”.
