Ship sinks off Kyrenia – rescue operation and legislative initiative
A ship sank during severe storms off the occupied Kyrenia coast with fatalities and people missing. Police and the coast guard conducted an unprecedented search and rescue operation, with rescue teams operating under extreme conditions (wind force 9-10). In response to the tragedy, the ALMA movement has prepared a legislative initiative to ban ships from sailing in dangerous weather conditions and to close a legislative gap in the authorities' powers.
