The Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) on Wednesday thanked the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation and Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou for donating excavation equipment worth €45,000 to its cause.

“The equipment will contribute to the intensification of the committee’s programme for locating and identifying the remains of missing individuals, bringing to an end the uncertainty which affected families for so many years,” a statement said.

So far, 1,051 missing persons from both Cypriot communities have been identified and returned to their families for dignified burials.

“CMP relies on donor support to implement its bi-communal project that alleviates the suffering of the concerned families,” the statement concluded.
