This morning at Fiumicino, on a flight from Nicosia, 10 asylum seekers arrived who have spent several months in camps in Cyprus, the European country that hosts, in percentage, the highest number of refugees. They will be hosted in Rome by Sant’Egidio, following Pope Francis’ trip to the island in December 2021.
