According to the Infrastructure Minister Christos Spirtzis, victims of the Attica fire will be able to submit applications starting from July 31, 2018 to receive 5,000 euros in aid.

The government has stated that they will pay 5,000 euros to households affected by the fire and 6,000 euros to families with more than two children. Businesses will receive 8,000 euros.
