Looking blankly, the residents of northeastern Attica return every day to where, until August 11, they had their dreams, their lives, their safety, the warmth of their homes before they became ashes and rubble after the devastating fire. .
Mrs. Thomais returns every day to her marked red house, trying to realize the magnitude of the disaster.
“Nobody deserves to go through this.”
“We are asking for a container, something to be here because the looting has also started, to be able to start from the beginning, to build everything we can build. It must help the state that brought us and got us to this point” emphasizes.
The victims of the Nea Penteli fire are also daily confronted by criminals who search the ruins to steal metals and valuables.
“They came by taxi so that we wouldn’t give them the impression that they will help and finally they came to loot and leave.”
Mr. George remains a watchful guard even though his house has been destroyed.
“I I live either in the car or in a warehouse. That’s why I’m sitting over here, to avoid the loot. They come in the trucks and grab whatever they can find. As long as I’m over here I’m chasing them”.
Blockades, patrols, arrests
The police are vigilant in the fire-stricken areas of Northeast Attica, trying to put a stop to the ruthless thugs who try to profit from the pained souls.
Police teams are dusting the fire-stricken areas creating a surveillance and control block on suspicious vehicles.
OPKE teams have already stopped vehicles full of iron and checked the drivers.
Since the beginning of the year and until today, 870 violations have been recorded, 360 arrests have been made for arson and fines amounting to 940,000 euros have been imposed.
Today, the platform for submitting first aid applications for those affected by the fires was opened.
The aim is for those affected who are entitled to first aid to submit an application and immediately receive the support they are entitled to as soon as possible.
