Greece is being lashed with torrential rains which have flooded homes, businesses and roads and left at least one person dead after a wall collapsed in the extreme weather.
Hundreds of millimeters of rainfall have been dumped over some areas in the last 24 hours as a strong area of low pressure passes over the country, leading to dangerous flash floods.
Greece’s prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has said that it is facing a “totally extreme weather phenomenon” and has urged the public to follow instructions from authorities.
The rainfall is particularly severe in central Greece and on the island of Evia and the Sporades Islands.
One man died on Tuesday after he was crushed by a wall in the village of Agios Georgios, near the city of Volos, according to the Greek fire service.
Another man was missing after he was swept away with his car on the outskirts of Volos.
Traffic circulation has been banned by the police in Volos and surrounding areas, as well as on the island of Skiathos.
Part of the local hospital in Volos has also been flooded.
