The European Parliament has approved the allocation of approximately €9.21 million from the EU Solidarity Fund to assist Cyprus in rebuilding areas impacted by devastating wildfires in July 2025. The decision received strong support, with 642 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) voting in favor of the funding. This initiative highlights the European Union's commitment to providing aid to member states affected by natural disasters.
The funds will specifically target the recovery of infrastructure that was damaged during the wildfires in the Limassol district, which resulted in two fatalities. This allocation is part of a larger support package totaling €144.1 million, aimed at addressing the aftermath of the wildfires and supporting economic recovery in the affected regions. The contribution of Cypriot MEP Christos Hadjipantela, serving as a shadow rapporteur for the European People's Party, was noted as instrumental in securing this financial assistance.
