EDITORIAL
EU peers step into the breach
Greece's European Union peers have stepped into the lingering crisis, dispatching aid in the form of firefighting aircraft - in fact, water-dropping planes sent by various European countries are still dousing areas of the Peloponnese.
COMMENTARY

In 1963, a devastating landslide buried Mikro Horio, a small village near Karpenisi, killing 13 people and destroying nearly all the houses. Many lives were spared, as it was a Sunday and many of the villagers were at church.
OPINION
An unprecedented sense of deprivation
Many of us feel an overwhelming sense of deprivation when we suddenly lose our mobile telephone, when our television breaks down, when our electricity supply is interrupted for a few hours, or when the registration plates of our car are stolen. And this is not even in extreme situations, as when someone lives in the middle of nowhere or is sick at home.
