Xylofagou Community Leader: "Immediate Measures to Enhance Safety and Daily Life of Residents"

Residents of Xylotymbou, Xylofagou, and Ormideia received messages from Civil Defence, which, according to Andreas Efthymiou-Souli, were guiding and precautionary and do not cause concern. The Community Leader of Xylofagou, Giorgos Ioulianos, stressed that panic should not prevail and that the Community Council is trying to be informed about the situation. The messages called on residents to move to Frenaros in case of need. Approximately 60% of Xylofagou is within the British Sovereign Base Areas of Dhekelia, which requires taking readiness measures. There are five shelters in the area, which are being inspected to ensure their accessibility and suitability. A slight increase in demand for products in supermarkets was observed due to citizen concerns.
