Operation under way to rescue snowbound shepherds on Skopelos

A team of recue workers and soldiers was dispatched from the central Greece town of Volos to the northwestern Aegean island of Skopelos on Thursday to rescue dozens of shepherds who have been trapped by heavy snowfall since Saturday.

A large part of Skopelos has been without power and water since the weekend as snowstorms and strong winds damaged electricity pylons, which also supplied power to water pumps.
