Greece could mobilise up to 2.25 billion euros in aid for floods and fires, von der Leyen says
"I am simply appalled by the recent disasters that struck Greece and its people....floods have devastated large regions of Greece. For example, the plains of Thessaly. The pictures from Larissa are heartbreaking. Let me assure you that our thoughts are with all women, men and children who are courageously withstanding these disasters. And we mourn the lives lost," the European Commission President said.
