Cyprus is preparing for a scenario in which more than 100,000 people may need to be evacuated from Lebanon, Israel, and the broader region if the violence in the Middle East escalates, diplomatic sources said on Friday.
High-level contacts told the Cyprus Mail the government is “intensively preparing for all scenarios” and has received information through diplomatic channels that over 100,000 EU and third-country nationals may seek to leave their homes should the war between Israel and Gaza become even more violent or spread to neighbouring countries.
The evacuated individuals would be using Cyprus as a transit station and would not be staying on the island for long, the sources specified.
