In December 2023, four boats carrying refugees departed from Tripoli, Lebanon, on a calm night, heading toward Cyprus. Three arrived safely on Cypriot shores, but one mysteriously vanished after being seen near the port, accompanied by the coast guard.

Over 80 passengers disappeared without a trace. Months later, only one body was identified through DNA testing with a relative.

Among those lost was a young man, the last hope for his family, who had been waiting for him in Cyprus to start a new life. He vanished after enduring years of hardship in a country ravaged by war.

Despite efforts by various organizations, the fate of the missing boat remains unknown. Some claimed to have reached the phones of the missing passengers, only to be met with blackmail from unknown individuals.

To this day, desperate families continue searching for any sign of their loved ones. Even the discovery of a floating body would offer a sliver of peace to the heart of a grieving mother.
