Greece Burning To The Ground

Greece in a nationwide state of emergency as more than 35 flaming fronts are on this time,burning everything to the ground.52 people were burnt alive so far,and the number is said to reach even higher rates by the end of the fires.This is the third round of fires this year,the worst in the country's history so far.There are no words to describe the situation,just tears...

Dunno, words can not express how I feel seeing these pictures about your country.
I am mourning with you.

two days now i've cried my eyes out.imagine that i've avoided posting videos,because i'm not sure if the world is ready for the tragedy.

there's one story i've read in todays newspaper that made my heart skip beats and i felt goosebumps all over.a mass of carbon bones and melted flesh was found in a house where the fires passed through yesterday,and was discovered to be the burnt bodies of a mother hugging her four little children.just the thought of this makes me so devastated and angry about the human stupidity at the same time.and i'm talking about stupidity because in most of the places of the flaming fronts,arson mechanisms were discovered.i cannot get it through my mind that innocent people were sacrificed in this way due to political and economical reasons.i feel so sick...honestly.

What a terrible,terrible picture I see in front of me when you are describing this.
I know too little about your country to be able to say anything reasonable but I really hope that politiciens will wake up and do everything to avoid this kind of disaster in the future.
Big hug...
