Feature: Residents of fire-stricken resorts near Athens protest delays in reconstruction

Residents of Mati and Kineta, coastal resorts that were damaged by wildfires, protest in Athens, Greece, on May 16, 2019. Ten months after losing relatives, friends, neighbors, homes and happiness during wildfires which swept through two once idyllic coastal resorts near Athens, a group of fire-stricken Greeks protested on Thursday outside the Greek Environment Ministry over the delays in the reconstruction process. On July 23, 2018, two fires which broke out in Kineta, 45 kilometers west of the Greek capital and in Mati, 30 km to the east, claimed 102 lives, leaving behind numerous injured, hundreds of destroyed or damaged houses and many acres of charred down forested land.
