Five hundred and sixty displaced Syrian families arrived to Port Said harbor on board a Greek ferry Wednesday.
The ferry comes from the Iskenderun Bay in Turkey, and carried 54 trucks and 22 cars in addition to the families.
Major General Mohsen Rady, Port Said security chief, said all legal measures were taken, and that the families will be transferred to Cairo, Alexandria and Ismailia.
Traffic chief Hassan al-Sokhry said the vehicles were provided to transfer the Syrians at no additional fees.
Political figures in Port Said met the families, including the traders’ coalition and volunteers association, as part of a campaign called “One Country” that provides free housing units and transportation for those who cannot afford it.
