Local authorities report that seven villages remain isolated and inaccessible by road because of the extensive floods and have called on the government to declare a state of emergency in the area. Several animals have died in the disaster as well.

Αν δεν πληρώσουμε εμείς για την ενημέρωσή μας, θα την πληρώσει κάποιος άλλος (και αν δεν είσαι ο Μαρινάκης μάλλον δεν έχεις τα ίδια συμφέροντα). Μάθε πώς
