At least six people died and another six are still missing in the flooded central Greek region as unprecedented bad weather conditions struck the country. Most villages and the capitals of the regional units of Karditsa and Trikala are facing serious problems as a result of the heavy rains hitting the country. Homes, livestock units and businesses have been affected with incalculable damages, while residents, in some areas, are trapped in their houses, due to the height of the water.

This two-year plan focuses on an area of nearly 10,000 hectares (100,000 stremmata) that has remained submerged since Storm Daniel wreaked havoc on the region last September. Until the floodwaters recede, farmers cannot access their fields, causing significant hardship.
In a separate announcement, Minister Avgenakis also revealed that €700 million in EU funding will be distributed to Greek beneficiaries before the upcoming Easter holiday. This disbursement will be handled by Opekepe, the agency responsible for managing EU funds under the supervision of the Ministry of Rural Development. Notably, this sum includes funds allocated in 2023 but left undistributed by the previous Opekepe administration.
