GREECE The Foreign Ministry in Bucharest has announced there is no information about the existence of Romanian victims among those caused by the wildfires in Greece. The latest death toll of the wildfires, that recently affected Greece, stands at 81; 200 other people have been wounded with scores still missing. The Custodian of the Crown of Romania and president of the Romanian Red Cross, Margareta, has conveyed a message to Greece in which she expressed her compassion for the fire victims at the same time pledging support from the Romanian Red Cross. In turn, the Romanian Orthodox Church has made an appeal to all its churches around the country and abroad to donate money in order to financially support the victims of the wildfires in Greece. The funds raised will be eventually donated to the Archbishopric of Athens. We recall that on Wednesday Romania dispatched two planes to the fire-affected areas: one fitted with fire-extinguishing equipment and a Hercules C-130 to provide logistic support. Sweden has also reported a series of forest fires close to the Arctic Circle where several towns have already been evacuated.
