The night was very difficult for the fire fronts that are burning in different parts of the country, with the main one being that of Alexandroupoli, where the flames reached earlier the premises of the city’s General Hospital, which was evacuated.
Sixty-nine of the hospital’s patients have been transferred to the passenger-vehicle ferry “Adamantios Korai” with the rest having already been transferred to other hospitals.
