Immigrant testimonies on how they arrive in Cyprus illegally (VIDEO)

In the middle of the cyclone of the immigration problem that Cyprus became a nightmare. Hundreds of migrants enter the island illegally every day.

Dozens of migrants who cross either the Green Line or the maritime territorial waters of the Republic of Cyprus arrive at the Pournara first reception center every day.

The reception center is suffocated by overcrowding, something for which the Minister of Interior has been ringing the bells for a long time.

The center houses three times the capacity of asylum seekers with the numbers reaching 2500 out of 1000 which is the planned number.

At the mercy of Turkey and the smugglers are the eastern borders of the European Union.

In a statement, Government Spokesman Marios Pelekanos said that "For the first 10 months of 2021, there were irregular flows of 10,868 people, of whom 9,270 had crossed the green line illegally in a clear policy of human suffering from Turkey, based on a prescribed and conscious policy ".

Testimonies of immigrants in SIGMA reflect the way of movement through the illegal airport in the occupied areas and the expensive tariffs of the slave traders.

The purpose of the traffickers is to hoard human suffering while promising these people a Promised Land. Before they cross the green line illegally, they take their passports and extort more money to return them.

In the teeth of traffickers and women and children looking for a better tomorrow away from wars and hardships.
