Aid heads for Lebanon as refugees leave Evacuees cramming into Cyprus

Greece began sending humanitarian aid to Lebanon yesterday as the evacuation of Greeks and other Westerners from Beirut to Cyprus picked up the pace, forcing Nicosia to ask its European Union partners to help move on the refugees that have been collecting on the island.

EDITORIAL
A lack of respect for our judiciary
The crisis over the two quarries in Markopoulo, which was shaken by explosions after quarriers continued to operate despite a court ruling ordering them to stop, and the buck-passing going on between regional and local authorities reluctant to take on the responsibility are reminiscent of a deplorable incident in Halkida where a falling road sign killed a passenger in a passing car. All the competent authorities claim to have been unqualified to try to avoid this predictable disaster.
COMMENTARY
Three powerful little words
Moments are important, not time. A moment is inspiration, time is thought. And inspiration was never a friend of contemplation. A moment is what leaves a mark. Time opens wounds. A spark, a flash is what you remember. And it was a moment that captured in just three words tragedy, hope, expectation, belief, threat, reminder and conviction: «I won't forget.» Just three little words.
