Severe Weather Causes Havoc in Rhodes
Severe weather from storm ‘Bora’ has severely impacted the northern triangle of Rhodes, particularly Ialysos, leading to over 600 emergency calls and more than 200 water rescues. Authorities, including the Fire Brigade, military, and local volunteers, are responding to widespread flooding, landslides, and collapsed infrastructure. The South Aegean Regional Governor, George Hatzimarkos, announced a 24-hour movement ban across the island as recovery efforts continue. No missing persons have been reported, but extensive damage to homes and businesses is expected as assessments await clearer conditions.
