The mayor of Skidra, Caterina Ignatiadou, demanded that a state of emergency be declared in the municipality due to the large volume of water, transported materials and serious problems in infrastructure, roads and crops.

As Ms. Ignatiadou said, Skidra, due to its geographical position, is the recipient of the volume of water from Aridaya, Edessa, Agra and other areas. “The situation is tragic. The embankment, which” rests “on the settlements of Sandali, Dafni, Kalyvia, Aspro, Lipochori, broke through, and there was danger,” the mayor of Skidra told APE-MPE.
