After the
region was hit by destructive rainfalls over the weekend, many
villages were cut off from the main water supply. The municipal
authorities and the regional water company had secured enough
supplies of bottled water which however needed to be distributed.
For this
task, many Greek volunteers showed up but also tens of Syrians
refugees from the nearby camp joined forces with them to help get
water to homes that were cut off at the mountain villages of the
area.
The
municipal authority thanked the refugees with an official statement
on Sunday, saying: “From the horrors of war, to volunteering
their services to the flooded villages of the Municipality of
Trikala. From bombs and bloodshed, to devastated livelihoods.
Volunteerism, the act of giving and concern for our fellow man
triumphed on Saturday”.
