In Northern Cyprus, families wait for news of passengers from sunk ferry
Seven people have died after a passenger boat capsized in Northern Cyprus. 267 people were on board and 23 are still missing. The boat capsized just a few miles off Kyrenia Port in northern Cyprus - a territory occupied by Turkey but not internationally recognised. The ferry has now completely sunk - and the company that operates it says it is "deeply saddened by the tragic accident". It says a hotline has been set up to provide passengers' relatives with information.

FLIC Trust Score70 / 100
How FLIC Trust Scores workFLIC Trust Scores turn community ratings into a 0–100 signal about how readers assess a story. Fake News votes lower the score, while Liberal, Conservative, and Independent classifications support it. The formula also rewards a balanced split between Liberal and Conservative ratings instead of treating one political viewpoint as automatically more trustworthy. Scores can change as more people vote and represent community judgment, not a factual verdict or substitute for reading the original reporting. Learn more about how FLIC works.
