Update on the condition of those injured
New Democracy politician Afroditi Nestora was transferred from Hippokration to Papanikolaou Hospital, where she is being treated for extensive first- and second-degree burns to her hands and feet sustained during the arson attack on her home in the Analipsi neighborhood. She is currently receiving care in the Burns Unit at Papanikolaou Hospital, where doctors are prioritizing treatment of the burns to her hands. It has been confirmed that she is breathing without assistance.
Her father, Panagiotis Nestoras, who is being treated in the Pulmonology Department at Hippokration Hospital due to respiratory problems he suffered following the attack, is expected to be discharged tomorrow. A resident of the apartment building where the attack took place is also being treated in the same department and is likewise expected to be discharged tomorrow.
A fourth resident has already been discharged from the Pulmonology Department but was subsequently transferred to the Coronary Care Unit at Hippokration due to cardiac complications.
