Here are 7 facts and figures that show just how bad the Greek crisis is right now

Greeks celebrate the result of the referendum on austerity demands in Thessaloniki.

On Sunday, Greeks made it clear that they reject austerity. 

Thousands flooded Athens' Syntagma Square to celebrate the results of the weekend's referendum. They were waving the national flag, hugging strangers, taking selfies, and lighting flares like Greece had just won the World Cup final. 

 

The roughly 60 percent to 40 percent result of the referendum was essentially Greece flipping the bird at more financial relief from its European creditors, which might seem kind of odd because Greece needs money right now. Like, a lot of money.

But after five years of painful austerity policies reluctantly implemented in exchange for rescue funds from European governments, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, most Greeks have made it clear they have had enough.

Whether the "no" voters were voting against the tough terms proposed by creditors for an extension of bailout funds — including even deeper pension cuts and more tax increases — or against the euro zone project itself isn’t clear.

What is clear is that Greece's government is broke, its banks are closed and restrictions on moving money out of the country are in place. If Greek banks don't receive more funds from the European Central Bank soon — as in, now — the financial system is likely to collapse, taking the already fragile economy with it.

Such an outcome could force Greece out of the single-currency region and even the European Union itself. 

Here are seven facts and figures that show just how bad things are in Greece right now. 

1. Youth unemployment is 49.7 percent

 

Roughly half of all Greek youths don't have a job. The exact figure is 49.7 percent, which makes Greece a slightly worse place than Spain to look for work. Overall unemployment is stuck at nearly 26 percent, which is the highest in the euro zone.

2. $66 limits on ATM withdrawals

 

The daily limit on ATM withdrawals in Greece is a meager $66. Need to pay for a medical emergency? Buy groceries? Repair the car? Then you'd better hope you have enough money stashed under the mattress to cover those expenses. 

3. Food shortages

 

Even if Greeks have squirreled away sufficient cash, they are also running out of things to spend it on. The country is starting to run low on food and medicine, as strict capital controls stop Greek importers from paying their overseas suppliers. There is, however, enough fuel to last for several months, according to Hellenic Petroleum, Greece's top oil refiner.  

4. ATM lines 

 

Cash machines have become the new hangout spot for many Greeks as they wait in long lines to withdraw as much money as possible — which isn't much — for fear the country's financial system will collapse, taking their savings with it.  

5. Economy has shrunk 25 percent in the past 6 years

The Greek economy has shrunk by a whopping 25 percent over the past six years as the government implemented unpopular austerity measures aimed at repairing the country’s disastrous finances.

6. Ballooning debt is over $330 billion

 

The Greek government owes more than $330 billion to European governments, the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, foreign banks, and … well, the list of creditors is quite long.

7. Massive debt repayments, including $3.9 billion due July 20

 

Greece is supposed to pay the European Central Bank a $3.9 billion debt installment on July 20. Given Greece has no money, the ECB is unlikely to receive that payment. And if Greece defaults — again — then the ECB is expected to sever its financial lifeline to the country's banks, triggering financial Armageddon.
