Citizens Outraged as Shelters in Strovolos Found Unprepared

Following recent sirens and drone interceptions, concerns have arisen among citizens regarding the readiness of shelters. OMEGAlive conducted an inspection of shelters in Strovolos and found that many are not in suitable condition. Some are used as garages or storage spaces, while others are dilapidated and lack equipment. Citizens express concerns about the lack of basic supplies, such as beds and water, and question the shelters' ability to provide meaningful protection. Furthermore, some shelters are difficult to identify, and many residents are unaware of their exact location. The Civil Defence had visited some shelters to prepare them, but the work was never completed. The SafeCy app provides information about shelters, but their actual condition raises concerns.
