A tragic rockfall in Crete's Samaria Gorge resulted in the death of a 33-year-old Ukrainian woman, who was injured by a falling rock during a sudden rainstorm. The incident occurred while approximately 1,000 hikers were present in the popular national park, which is known for its scenic beauty. Emergency services were immediately dispatched to assist other hikers, and rescue operations are ongoing to ensure their safe evacuation. The gorge will remain closed for inspections to assess the potential risk of further rockfalls. Authorities noted that they were not forewarned about the storm, which led to the park being open to visitors at the time. Fortunately, no other significant injuries were reported among the hikers present during the incident.
