'I'm lost': Greek farmer overcome after fire burns goat herd

This picture shows two remaining beehives among burnt ones near the Village of Voutas.

Stunned, Kostis Angelou wanders between the corpses of his goats, all 372 of them burnt by a fire that devoured forests on Evia island in Greece. "I'm lost," he sighs, "I can't take it anymore." The goats lie on the two flanks of a hill blackened by the blaze that burnt for more than a week in the north of Greece's second biggest island. Up there, in the middle of the forest, the 44-year-old farmer survived miraculously by spending hours under an irrigation water pipe, surrounded by flames. "A saint saved me," Angelou says.
