The 65 immigrants are under the care of the competent authorities of the Republic of Cyprus who record with personal interviews as much information about them as possible, because according to a police spokesman, most do not have travel documents.
The two pregnant women were taken to Famagusta General Hospital for precautionary reasons. The care of the children will be undertaken by the competent Government Services.
