About 240 refugees, including 80 children, were evacuated from the hospitality center at Petra, near Olympos in Pieria on Wednesday evening, due to the adverse weather conditions.
According to municipal councilor Nikos Papaziogas, most of the refugees have been transferred to another center in the area of Volvi near Thessaloniki. About 65 were temporarily taken to a hotel at Paralia near Katerini, before also being transferred to Volvi.
