Greece expressed in a Foreign Ministry tweet that it is "deeply saddened by the tragic loss of lives at a train collision in eastern India." "Our sincere condolences to the victims’ families and wishes for swift recovery to the injured," it added in its tweet, while "at this difficult time Greece stands in solidarity with the people and Government of India." At least 233 people have died and 900 are injured, state chief secretary Pradeep Jena said on Twitter following the disaster in eastern Odisha state on Friday. The death toll is expected to rise as teams carry out a colossal rescue operation, Jena told a press conference. Images from the scene showed rescuers attempting to find survivors in a damaged rail carriage. Video footage also showed upturned coaches littered across train tracks, and people climbing a mangled train carriage. Friday’s rescue effort included more than 115 ambulances and several fire service units, say authorities. About 500 units of blood were collected overnight with 900 units currently in stock, Jena wrote on Twitter. “This will help in treating the accident victims. I’m personally indebted and grateful to all the volunteers who’ve donated blood for a noble cause,” he wrote.

The death toll from the head-on collision of two trains in central Greece has risen to at least 40 people, with many more missing, according to the state broadcaster, while several of those wounded remained in a critical condition. On Wednesday afternoon, the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) reported that 50-60 people were still unaccounted for after the crash in the town of Tempe. Later in the day, the Greek transport minister, Kostas Karamanlis, submitted his resignation, saying it was “the least he could do to honour the memory of the victims”, and lamenting the state’s “longstanding failures”. Making the announcement after visiting Tempe, Karamanlis highlighted the sorry state of Greece’s railways, bluntly saying they belonged to another era. “It is a fact that we took stock of the Greek railroads in a state that did not befit the 21st century. In these three and a half years [since the Kyriakos Mitsotakis administration assumed power], we have made every effort to improve this reality. “Unfortunately, those efforts were not enough to prevent such an accident. And that’s why it weighs heavily on all of us and for me personally.” Unions agreed. Nikos Tsikalakis, who heads the Association of Rail Workers and is a pointsperson, said the network was not only chronically understaffed but hopelessly behind the times. “The state has voted and has said, itself, that there should be 2,100 workers on the railroad when today there are 750 people who serve it all over Greec...
