Rescue efforts continue in Greece following deadly floods after torrential downpours | ITV News

Rescue crews are continuing to search areas of central Greece for people left stranded by severe flooding.

Heavy rains across the region in recent days have left at least ten people dead, while a further four are still missing. Flooding has also affected neighbouring Bulgaria and Turkey.

Roads and bridges have been washed away in Greece by torrential downpours, which have also caused some dams to burst their banks.

Authorities have said that some areas received twice the average annual rainfall for Athens in the space of 12 hours.
