FAMILIES with triplets are demanding greater state assistance to help them cope with their increased expenses in a time of austerity.
During a get-to-know-you gathering held on Sunday at the ‘Dreamland Playground’ at Tersefanou village, the Association of Families of Triplets said the state has effectively neglected them.
Head of the association Vangelis Malas said that all the children’s expenses – milk, diapers – were triple for them compared to the average family. In addition, caring for triplets means more stress, and less sleep at night, which impacts parents’ work performance.
“The built-up stress is so intense that it can often lead to divorce,” Malas said.
THERE IS no dispute between Cyprus and Lebanon over the issue of hydrocarbons, and the two nations are keen to work together on energy, President Demetris Christofias said yesterday.
“We have a common interest with Lebanon because we have a common Exclusive Economic Zone, so there is no problem between us,” Christofias said in Beirut during an official visit there.
“Of course,” he added, “there is the problem between Lebanon and Israel, and efforts are being made to bridge the difference.”
Christofias expressed the hope that soon Lebanon would proceed with the licensing of its own offshore blocks, and noted that Lebanon wanted to gain from Cyprus’ experience and that Cyprus was ready to pass it on.
The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
