Greek PM tours area amid fears death toll could rise as water levels continue to rise in some places
Helicopters and lifeboats have been deployed to rescue hundreds of villagers stranded by flood waters in central Greece after a rainstorm killed at least 10 people.
Touring the crisis-hit area of Thessaly, 185 miles north of Athens, Greece’s prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, vowed to do “whatever is humanly possibly” to assist people in areas deluged by torrential rain that also hit neighbouring Bulgaria and Turkey. A total of 22 people have died across the three countries since Tuesday.
