Olympic Holidays to raise funds for Greek wildfire victims
Olympic Holidays is inviting customers to add £1 to their booking which will be matched by Olympic Holidays to support those affected by the Greek wildfires.
The Greece specialist has also set up a fundraising page to help raise money for Desmos.org, a charity based in Athens and Thessaloniki which is providing much needed support to those affected.
Two major outbreaks in the Attica region have claimed the lives of more then 81 people and the death toll is expected to rise.
Almost 200 more have been reported to be injured, including 23 children who require medical care. Many remain in a critical condition.
Dense pine forest has been burnt and the village of Mati has been destroyed almost completely.
The funds will be used to provide the victims with personal hygiene including soaps, nappies, toothpaste, shampoo and disinfectants, packaged food, water, and clothes and shoes for children.
