LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- A ship carrying around 80 Chinese citizens and their foreign family members arrived safely at the Port of Limassol, Cyprus, early on Tuesday. This was part of an ongoing evacuation operation as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, particularly affecting Lebanon.
The vessel, the "Xin Xiamen," owned by China COSCO Shipping Corporation, departed Lebanon just after midnight on Monday, navigating turbulent conditions in a 13-hour journey to reach safety. The Chinese Embassy in Cyprus set up a dedicated service desk at Limassol Port, ready to assist evacuees with processing documentation and providing immediate support.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
