President Angelos Hadjicharalambous confirmed that 150 visual inspections have been conducted, resulting in 100 reports. Within the Larnaca Municipality, 23 inhabited and 40 uninhabited buildings are classified as Category C, indicating a significant risk of collapse. Two buildings, including the Madona Court apartment block and the Club D’Lux, have been formally declared dangerous, leading to evacuations or closure orders. Social services are currently assisting 40 residents at Madona Court with relocation to hotels.
