As coronavirus lockdown eases, Cypriots still in limbo

Deniz Birinci had just hours to stuff her and her baby daughter's belongings into suitcases and bin bags on March 16 before the two sides on the divided island of Cyprus imposed lockdowns to halt the spread of the new coronavirus. An ethnic Turkish Cypriot, Birinci had to move to the Greek Cypriot south of the divided capital Nicosia so her two-year-old daughter could continue to receive medical treatment. Nearly two months on, they are still living out of suitcases and have moved three times, even though their home is just five minutes away, in the Turkish Cypriot north of the city.
