The Greek government on Sunday evening announced a major relief package for flood-stricken residents and businesses in the central Thessaly province, which was battered by record-breaking rainfall earlier in the week.
Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis himself made the announcement from Larissa, the biggest city in the Thessaly plain, the area considered as the country’s “bread basket”. Among others, Mitsotakis said damages incurred by farmers and stockbreeders will be covered by the national organization of agricultural insurances (ELGA).
Additionally, as previously reported by ot.gr, the Greek premier will travel to Strasbourg on Tuesday at the head of a government delegation for talks with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Mitsotakis said the meeting will focus on seeking assistance from the EU to cover the extensive weather-related damages in central Greece.
In detailing the relief measures, other Cabinet members referred to the opening of a specific online platform, on Monday, to field requests for emergency housing assistance, of up to 10,000 euros, ad initial assistance for affected businesses, of up 4,000 euros, including stockbreeding and livestock units. Assistance of up to 6.600 euros will be allocated for household appliances and furnishings of flood-damaged residences.
