A uranium crisis is escalating in Greece!

According to Greek State Television ERT, dangerous levels of uranium have been detected in drinking water in the settlements of Serres, Lefkonas, and Kristos. A state of emergency has been declared in response to this issue, effective until June 26, at the request of Serres Mayor Varvara Bitlianga.

The state of emergency will facilitate access to emergency funds for relevant municipalities and institutions, speeding up the resolution process. In the past week, the consumption of water for drinking and cooking has been banned in five areas due to the detected uranium levels.

This water crisis in Greece poses a threat to public health. It is crucial for citizens to remain vigilant and heed the warnings from authorities during this time.
