CHIOS — A large wildfire burning out of control in northern Chios is endangering inhabited areas and valuable forest ecosystems.
According to the newspaper "Politis of Chios," the fire reached the Holy Shrine of Saint Markella shortly after 11:30 p.m. last night. The blaze is threatening both the back side of the monastery and, from the beach side, the restaurant located on the grounds.
Previously, UOJ reported that in the aftermath of the most devastating wildfire in Cyprus’ modern history, the Orthodox Metropolis of Limassol mobilized to provide critical relief to survivors, many of whom have lost their homes, livelihoods, and places of worship.
