Story

At the end of March, everyone in Cyprus was required to stay at home and there is now a nighttime curfew. Our Dignity Centre, which was a critical lifeline to over 250 people a week, has had to close. We are now concerned about asylum seekers and refugees who have no means of buying food. Working with Caritas, the Cyprus Refugee Council and the local UNHCR we have identified 60 of the most vulnerable asylum seekers who have no means of support during the lockdown and will starve without help. We have two fantastic Refugee Support aid workers - Paula and Laura - who are bulk buying essential supplies, putting together the food packs in a highly controlled sanitary environment and are now delivering to the homes where the vulnerable people are isolated.
