Lebanon ambassador to Cyprus: All Lebanese nationals are in good health

Lebanon ambassador to Cyprus Youssef Sadaka continued on Thursday its contacts with the Cypriot authorities to follow up on the case of the Lebanese survivors who were on board of a sinking boat in the Mediterranean.

Sadaka noted that the number of Lebanese nationals on board of the boat is six, including four from the al-Ghamrawi family, as well as Khaled Abboud Hilal and Mohammad Khalil Abdallah.

The ambassador notified the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that all Lebanese nationals are fine.

The Cyprus coastguard rescued 26 people, mainly Syrian and Lebanese women and children, from a boat sinking in the Mediterranean in an operation completed early Wednesday, officials said.
