“What with me shocked more is the muteness which prevailed in the area of personal hospitality, while they existed somewhere 8,500 people there. THE absolute silence. No cries, no voices, no anger, no childish voices. Faces with blank expression. One endless collective trauma. Their concern is really what they will become. “Their people and their lives left behind”, says the EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety in KATHIMERINI of Cyprus Stella Kyriakidounarrating what he experienced in Ukrainian-Polish border.
As Ms. Kyriakidou points out, a very well-organized coordination effort is underway to support the people who are looking for refuge in Poland, but also in other Member States, while the Polish people opened a huge embrace and literally opened their homes to accommodate the refugees. “I saw European values being transformed into action. The European Union is on their side, as it is on the side of Ukraine. Our solidarity, unity and will to support both Poland and the other front-line states, and obviously the Ukraine“She is strong and unshakable,” he notes.
Answering a relevant question, Ms. Κυριακίδου Stresses that it is currently impossible to determine the exact number of refugees who will leave Ukraine. Obviously, he adds, the challenge is huge and historic for Europe’s future. “The only sure thing is that every day that the illegal invasion continues, the flows of refugees will increase and with them the human suffering.”
In terms of selling 10,000 beds in European hospitals, clarified that this is only the beginning, as a relief system has been created that allows the safe and fast transfer of patients to EU hospitals, while he also referred to the mobilization of the Health Crisis Prevention and Management Authority (HERA), at the European Center for Prevention and Control Diseases, as in the European Medicines Agency. He reiterated the message of unity that the EU sends with its stance against the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He described the EU’s determination, consistency and solidarity as unprecedented.
Finally, greet the immediate and emotional response of Of Cypruswho as she said knows very well what war and asylum mean, in sending humanitarian aid and hosting children with cancer as well as Ukrainian refugees.
