Health Hazard Reported at Green Point in Paphos

The Movement of Ecologists – Citizens' Cooperation reports a serious health hazard at the green point in Agia Varvara, Paphos, due to the accumulation of dead animals and large quantities of waste. The images captured at the site are described as shameful and pose an immediate threat to public health, especially during Cyprus's presidency of the Council of the European Union. The movement had already informed the competent services a year ago about the situation, but there has been no improvement. The accumulation of waste and the presence of carcasses create breeding grounds for infection and unbearable odors. The Movement of Ecologists raises questions to the managers of the green point, the EPA, and the Department of Environment, requesting immediate restoration of the site and measures to prevent similar situations in the future.
