Cypriot authorities officially noticed the Palestinian and the Syrian refugees, who are living in “Burnara” camp, to leave the camp on Friday 16/01/2015.
This came in a letter signed by Chairman of Burnara camp, Dr. John Avlonettis, Under the title “last alarm” directed to the residents in the camp, the warning included 5 points:
The last day of the camp is Friday 16/01/2015 and specifically at 3:00 pm.
Everyone must complete hisher asylum or temporary residency procedures.
Those who applied asylum transactions to be transferred to Kufino camp on Friday 16/01/2015.
The deadline for those who have applied to temporary residency transactions to stay in the camp, 16/01/2015.
Those who did not apply any action are to leave the camp on Friday morning 16/01/2015.
It is noteworthy that about 240 Palestinian refugees, who were on a ship board heading to Italy before the Cypriot navy forced them to take them to their territory, to be transferred to a refugee camp and they lived in difficult humanitarian conditions, while they refused to submit to resort in Cyprus because of the hard asylum in Cyprus, but under the threat to cut aid and fear of being homeless in the streets of Cyprus some of them applied for asylum and the others refused to apply for asylum in Cyprus. It is noted that they have had a set of sit-ins in front of international and humanitarian institutions and sent letters to the Embassy of the Palestinian Authority but without a result of deporting them to the neighboring European countries of asylum.
