As “K” wrote todayuntil late last night conducting rescue operations for trapped people was extremely difficult, as the situation in many villages and towns of Karditsa is described by sources with knowledge of the situation as borderline.
In short, in many cases even the Special Forces units they could not reach by road places where there were trapped people.
For this reason yesterday the contribution of all the boats that were finally used and of course theirs was valuable helicopters, which released a large number of people.
The situation that took place, especially in the wider area of Karditsain the last 24 hours, has led to criticism of the Army’s radius of presence, especially as the GEETHA constantly promoted photographic material with the sign “Let’s Go Everywhere”.
Until late last night, a total of 46 vehicles (TUMP, Hummer, general purpose, buses, earth loaders and earth movers), 27 boats, a Company (70 people) of the 7th MAK and personnel from the 32 TAX P.N. had been made available. five search and rescue helicopters and a frigate in the Arctic Gulf, while several more are already on standby.
Finally, MOMKA is making an effort for “Belay” bridge placementswhere this is required (Kala Nera Volos, Stournareika Trikala, Mouzaki Karditsa).
“Daniel’s” account is heavy
It is noted that the account of bad weather is gravityas it has caused the death of six people, so far, but also unprecedented disasters in many areas of the country, centered on Thessaly.
The extreme weather has subsided and now efforts are turning to business rescue of stranded and missing personsthe exact one number of which remains unknown. There is agony over what will be revealed under the mud and waters that drowned the Thessalian plain.
On constant alert the authorities and residents remain in the areas around Pinios, with successive messages from 112 and non-stop evacuation and release operations.
