The cost of damage from the record floods in Greece's breadbasket is estimated to be in the billions

Dead animals lie on the mud after heavy rains in Volos, central Greece, on Sept. 6, 2023. The storms flooded 720 square kilometers (72,000 hectares), mostly prime farmland, totally destroying crops. They also swamped hundreds of buildings, broke the country's railway backbone, savaged local roads and bridges and killed tens of thousands of livestock. Thessaly accounts for about 5% of national economic output, and a much larger proportion of agricultural produce. (AP Photo/Thodoris Nikolaou, File)
