Survivors of the wildfires that have killed at least 74 people in Greece have described how they were forced into the sea by a blaze that "struck like a flamethrower".
One victim told BBC that the flames were chasing them all the way to the water.
Meanwhile, the bodies of 26 adults and children who apparently died hugging each other were found close to the sea.
Hundreds of firefighters have been battling the flames, which have been fanned by winds of up to 100km/h and have devastated the seaside village of Mati, engulfing homes and vehicles.
Relatives of those reported missing have been posting photographs on a website in the hope of tracing their whereabouts.
It is Greece's worst fire disaster since 2007, when dozens of people were killed in the southern Peloponnese peninsula.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has also declared three days of national mourning.
