(UTV|COLOMBO) – A search for survivors is continuing in Greece, where at least 74 people have died in wildfires near the capital Athens.
High winds spread the fire, trapping many in homes and vehicles and forcing others into the sea as they tried to escape the flames.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has declared three days of mourning.
On Tuesday, the bodies of 26 adults and children who apparently died embracing each other were found on a cliff top.
