However, it was not clear whether the two victims were the missing couple from Austria. The Foreign Ministry announced this to the APA on Thursday. A DNA comparison will now be carried out on both bodies to determine their identity. But it will still take some time to clarify.
A week ago, severe flooding occurred in central Greece following heavy rain. Thousands of people are still unable to return to their homes, some of which have been completely destroyed. Villages were cut off from the environment.
The wanted couple from Austria was staying in a holiday accommodation in the hard-hit Pelion region, which was washed away. Since then there has been no more contact with the holidaymakers. An intensive search operation by local authorities has been underway since then.
From last Monday to Thursday, a severe storm settled over central Greece. Heavy rain flooded villages and towns in many places. The amount of precipitation reached unprecedented levels of more than 700 liters per square meter in less than 24 hours. 15 people were killed. Storm “Daniel” then moved on – and caused catastrophic floods in Libya with thousands of deaths.
