THE Syrian refugees who were rescued off the coast of Cyprus in September and are temporarily housed at the Kokkinotrimithia reception centre, need to urgently make arrangements for their stay in the country, since the camp will close down in a few days, the Interior ministry announced yesterday.
Of the 337 people who were on the boat en route to Italy and were transferred after their rescue to Kokkinotrimithia, the majority still remain in the reception centre.

Uno scafista parla della merce del mareile agenzia d’informazioni della diaspora siriana. Solo risalendo il fiume carsico delle mezze frasi si può sperare di sapere qualcosa di più sui trafficanti. I profughi non ne parlano male. Non per paura, né per un contagio di massa da sindrome di Stoccolma. «Senza di loro – ripetono – saremmo rimasti intrappolati sotto le bombe».
