A Cypriot mission of 31 people left for Greece on a morning flight, with the aim of helping to extinguish the fire in Parnitha.

The mission was made possible after the coordinated efforts of the competent state services and especially the Ministry of Justice and Public Order and Minister Anna Koukkidou Prokopiou.

The mission consists of 13 people from the Cyprus Fire Service, 13 from the Civil Defense and 5 from the Ambulance Service.

In a post on social media, the Fire Service says "We wish them to be safe and that their support to our colleagues in Greece who have been fighting for days to put out the fire fronts is as constructive as possible."

"The Archpriest P.Y. N. Longinos and the Head of the Ambulance Service R. Konstantinou wished the mission good success" he concludes.
