In Aftermath of Greek Fires, Suspicion Combines With Grief and Recrimination

The steps leading to the sea in Mati, Greece, where a group of victims trying to escape from a large wind-fueled wildfire were trying to reach, but lost their way and died nearby, on July 24, 2018. Greece woke Tuesday morning to its worst tragedy in a decade. In addition to those killed by smoke or fire, or who drowned in the sea while trying to flee, at least 187 people were hospitalized, more than 20 of them children. At least ten people remained in serious condition, the government said Tuesday night. (Jason Horowitz/The New York Times)
