Free Assistance for Young People's Return from Thailand
March 4, 2026
Nine young people from Paphos are stranded in Thailand due to the closure of airspace in the Middle East. The Cypriot government is looking into possible solutions for their return home. Alexander Jiang, a Paphos municipal councilor, is offering free airfare and accommodation for the youths in China until they can travel back to Cyprus via European destinations. The families of the young people are anxious, as their recent attempts to return have been unsuccessful. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
