UN to evacuate staff from Egypt
A spokesman for the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Cyprus says 350 UN staff based in Egypt will be evacuated to the east Mediterranean island or to the United Arab Emirates.
Rolando Gomez said UN staff will have the option to fly either to Cyprus or Dubai. He says two UN chartered aircraft will each conduct two round-trip flights from Cyprus's Larnaca airport to Cairo on Thursday to ferry staff and their family who opt for the island. (AP)
