In an announcement, the Press and Communications Office has notified that Greek economic aid for those affected by last February’s wildfires in the Australian state of Victoria has been delivered to the proper Australian authorities. The announcement notes: “The Greek Government offered the sum of A$180,000 as emergency aid for the relief of the fire victims, to the Victoria Bushfire Recovery and Reconstruction Authority.
“Having had the sad experience of the devastating repercussions from forest fires, Greece offered this amount as a symbolic aid gesture to help reconstruct and recover the affected regions. At the same time, this gesture acknowledges Australia’s generous support for Greek fire victims a few years ago”.
