Greece's fire service said on Wednesday it had identified 85 victims of the wildfire that ravaged the east coast of Attica last week, which left one person still unaccounted for.

The Ministry of Health said earlier that one burn victim was released from Evangelismos hospital on Wednesday and another left the hospital's intensive care unit.

A 62-year-old man died at an Athens hospital on Friday as a result of extensive burn injuries, raising the toll from Monday's deadly east Attica wildfires to 87.

The man had been on life support at the capital's Evangelismos Hospital, but doctors were unable to save his life.

The death toll from the deadly blaze that ravaged the coastal town of Mati in east Attica on Monday rose to 85 on Thursday, after a 73-year-old man who was in intensive care in Athens' Evangelismos hospital died and two more bodies were discovered by rescue crews.

Earlier in the day, a fire service spokesperson told journalists the number had risen to 82.

Sixty adults injured in the deadly fires of eastern Attica on July 23 remain hospitalized, 11 of which are in intensive care in critical condition, Greece's Health Ministry said in a new briefing on Wednesday.

Vassiliki Psevedourou heard a loud bang and in horror saw flames dancing menacingly outside her living room window at Neos Voutzas, east of Athens.

A major blaze east of the Greek capital, which has killed at least 60 people in one of the country's worst fires in recent years, reached her home in an area of pine forest much faster than she expected.

In a strongly worded statement on Saturday, New Democracy's shadow minister for health, Vassilis Economou, berated the government for the state of "abandonment" of the Evangelismos Hospital in central Athens and the general situation at public hospitals.

A sharp spike in incidents of violence, and criminal activities, on the grounds of universities across the country has fueled concern among academics who say they are powerless to intervene.
