Hartsiotis Visits Akrotiri Residents in Hotels - Evacuation Order Extension Possible

Residents of the Akrotiri community remain displaced in hotels due to ongoing safety measures in the area. The Presidential Commissioner, Marios Hartsiotis, visited the hotels to assess the living conditions of the residents and assure them of state support. Despite initial plans for a return home, an extension of the evacuation order until Monday is being considered to ensure the safety of residents. Mr. Hartsiotis emphasized that the priority is the physical integrity of residents and their children, while acknowledging the psychological stress caused by the displacement. Authorities are continuously monitoring and evaluating the situation, aiming for a smooth return of residents as soon as possible.
