A state of emergency was declared on the Greek islands of Rhodes and Lemnos on Monday after a deadly storm caused widespread damage. Two men were killed in Lemnos as floods, strong winds, and heavy rain overturned cars, caused power outages, and led to evacuations. Rescue teams, supported by the military, worked to evacuate vulnerable residents. Greece’s climate crisis minister, Vassilis Kikilias, linked the extreme weather to climate change, urging residents to follow evacuation orders for their safety.
