The seriousness of the situation, with regard to the problems caused by the heavy rains that have been observed since dawn, in the province of Famagusta, is demonstrated by the number of calls received by the Fire Service, as well as the fact that within a few hours the number of calls almost tripled operating forces.
So far, the Fire Service has received more than 200 calls for opening storm water drains, flooded roads, flooded basements and towing of immobilized vehicles, as well as rescues of citizens who are trapped in their vehicles on flooded roads. In Ayia Napa, hotels and houses were flooded, while in Paralimni and Protaras houses and shops were flooded.
Furthermore, the tragedy of the situation prevailing in Protaras can also be seen through photographs obtained from above. < /p>
