Large quantities of medication, potentially worth millions of euros, were destroyed in a Health Ministry storage facility in Nicosia due to flooding caused by extreme rainfall and hailstorm. The incident occurred on Green Monday, March 18, prompting the removal of thousands more packages to prevent further damage. The health ministry is assessing the extent of the damages, with concerns over possible shortages for patients. Health Minister Michalis Damianou denied any attempt to conceal the incident and attributed it to unpredictable weather, describing it as an “act of God.” An ad hoc committee of pharmacologists has been established to address the damages and take inventory of the affected medicines. The incident is reminiscent of a previous flooding at the Finance Ministry’s basement that knocked out government servers and websites for several days.
