💨 Abstract

Approximately 6,500 travelers are stranded in Cyprus while trying to reach Israel due to ongoing hostilities. They rely on local Jewish community support for accommodation and kosher meals. Rabbi Arie Zeev Raskin, the Jewish faith’s leader in Cyprus, has coordinated efforts to assist these travelers, prioritizing the most vulnerable. Despite efforts, accommodations are scarce, and Raskin advises against more people using Cyprus as a stopover. The Associated Press.
