Greek shipowner Panos Laskaridis has boosted his credentials as one of the country’s biggest benefactors by donating €1m ($1.17m) worth of aid to mitigate losses from a recent wave of forest blazes.
The funds will also help battle future fires.
The aid is to flow through the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation (ALF), founded in 2007 by Panos and his late wife Marilena, who died six years ago.
