Floods in Greece: Help Families Rebuild

In September 2023, Storm Daniel caused some of the worst floods Greece has ever seen. Whole villages in Thessaly went underwater, and 17 people died. Now, new storms have flooded parts of Crete in October 2026. Many families are still trying to rebuild their homes, farms, and lives.

You can help them today.

What happened

Greece Floods

Storm Daniel hit central Greece from September 4 to 7, 2023. Days of heavy rain turned rivers into fast, deep floods. The Thessaly plain, where much of the country’s food is grown, went underwater. Rescue teams saved more than 800 people in a single day. The damage was huge. About 73,000 hectares (180,000 acres) of farmland flooded. Farmers lost more than 110,000 animals and 135,000 chickens. Thessaly grows about 15% of all farm products in Greece, and experts say the soil could take up to five years to recover. Local leaders put the damage at more than €2 billion. Months later, many people in villages like Vlochos and Metamorfosi still could not go home. Some schools were too damaged to reopen. Many families said the help they received was not enough. The European Union pledged about €2 billion to help Greece rebuild. But public money takes time to reach each family. Small fundraisers help people get what they need right now, like food, clean water, and a dry place to sleep. The danger has not passed. From September 30 to October 3, 2026, strong storms flooded parts of Crete. An 80-year-old farmer died near Rethymno, a bridge was swept away, and 23 people were trapped in their cars on the road from Ierapetra to Sitia.
