Kunokuba baye kwihotele ecetyiweyo, iindwendwe ezifike ngeCawa zasiwa kwibala lebhola yomnyazi zaza zalala phantsi ngobo busuku. Kodwa kutheni umntu ebhabha ngaphandle esazi malunga nobushushu obugqithisileyo ngelixa i-19,000 ibaleka IRhodes amadangatye?
Imililo yasendle eRhodes iphumile kulawulo ngokufuduswa okungaphezulu okufunekayo njengoko ukuhlangulwa kwamawakawaka amaBritane kwisiqithi saseGreece esitshiswe ngumlilo kunye nengxaki ebangelwe yi-40C-plus Cerberus heatwave yaseYurophu isasazeka eCorfu namhlanje.
Imililo yasendle eCorfu iye yabangela abantu abaninzi ukuba bafuduke eGrisi njengoko iBrits ijongene nesiphithiphithi seholide phakathi kwamaza obushushu aseYurophu.
Abenzi beeholide baye bachaza “iphupha elibi eliphilayo” lokuvuswa kukukhala kweenqwelo-moya zokuhlasela nokunyanzelwa ukuba babaleke baye elwandle njengoko imililo yayityhutyha amahlathi neenduli eziphezu kweehotele zabo, beyithelekisa “nomboniso bhanyabhanya wentlekele,” ijelo leendaba laseBritani lanikela ingxelo.
“Sikusuku lwesixhenxe lomlilo kwaye awukalawuleki,” uSekela Sodolophu waseRhodes uKonstantinos Taraslias uxelele umsasazi we-ERT. "Oku kuyasicinezela ngokwenene, kuba kunokuchaphazela ezinye iindawo ezikhuselekileyo nezisebenza njengesiqhelo."
“Abakhenkethi abakwazi kwazi apho imililo yasendle iphi eRhodes.”
"NamaGrike awayiqondi ncam indawo apho imililo yasendle ikhoyo kwesi siqithi."
Imifanekiso ibonise amawaka abakhenkethi abazama ngamandla ukubaleka i-inferno kwiiyure ezingama-24 ezidlulileyo, abaninzi banyanzelwa ukuba bashiye izinto zabo kwaye balale kwiilwandle kunye nemigangatho yehotele ukuba abanako ukufikelela kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.
Nangona kunjalo kukho umahluko obukhali ekunikezeni ingxelo njenge-TUI (isigebenga sokuhamba saseJamani) sithetha ngabakhenkethi beholide abayi-19,000, ngelixa imidiya yaseBritane inika ingxelo malunga neendwendwe ezingama-30,000 kwisiqithi esivuthayo saseGrike esingaphezu kwe-10,000 evela eGreat Britain.
Isithethi seTUI sithe le nkampani inabathengi abamalunga nama-40,000 abasuka kulo lonke elaseYurophu eRhodes, abangama-7,800 kubo bachatshazelwe ngumlilo.
Ke, kutheni i-Ofisi eyiNtloko ye-TUI (eJamani) ithetha kuphela nge-19,000 yabantu abahamba ngeeholide eRhodes kwaye behlisa intlekele? Basazama ukukhupha iindwendwe ngokukhawuleza, utshilo isithethi ngoMvulo. Okumangalisayo kukuba, i-TUI ayizange ichaze inqanaba elitsha ngoMvulo xa kuthelekiswa neCawa ngelixa imeko yayisiba mandundu.
Abantu baseBritane bakhutshwa ngenxa yemililo yasendle eRhodes namhlanje bachaze isiphithiphithi kunye nokubhideka njengoko bezama ukubuyela ekhaya kubandakanya nokubona abakhenkethi base-UK behla kwisiqithi saseGreek bengeniswa ngokukhawuleza "hlangula iibhasi” eziya kwiindawo zokuhlala ezingxamisekileyo.
Nangona kunjalo, iTUI ngoku irhoxise iinqwelomoya zayo eziya eRhodes de kube ngoLwesibini sifundile, ngelixa iJet2 Holidays irhoxisiwe uhambo lwayo kude kube ngeCawe ezayo.
URishi Sunak, iNkulumbuso yase-Bhritane, ubongoze abantu abahamba ngeeholide ukuba bahlale benxibelelana nabakhenkethi ngaphambi kokuba baye kwiiholide zabo. Kodwa iOfisi yezangaphandle iyekile ukulumkisa malunga nokuya eRhodes okanye eCorfu ngeli xesha, isenza kube nzima nakubani na ofuna imbuyekezo.
Nangona kunjalo, uninzi lweenqwelomoya ezinkulu kunye neenkampani zeeholide ziya kuqhubeka nokubhabha apho de zivale isikhululo seenqwelomoya.
Omnye umenzi weeholide uthe i-easyJet isaqhuba iinqwelomoya apho abakhweli “bangeniswa kwiibhasi zokuhlangula nje ukuba bafike.” Wabuza, “Baphi na?”
“Ndicaphukile ngokupheleleyo. Ndasebenza kuhambo mna. Akukho nkxaso kwaphela. Ndifuna ingcaciso.”
UHelen Tonks, umama wabantwana abathandathu osuka eCheshire, uthe wabhabha waya “kwiphupha elibi” nguTui ngentsimbi ye-11 ebusuku ngoMgqibelo kwaye wafumanisa ukuba ihotele yakhe ivaliwe.
Wathi: “Sahlala saza saxelelwa, 'uxolo, awukwazi ukuya kwihotele yakho - itshile.' Sasingazi ukuba imililo yayimbi ngolu hlobo okanye isondele kwiihotele njengoko yayinjalo. I-TUI ayizange ithethe nto, nokuba inqwelomoya yethu ilibazisekile. Nkqu nencoko kakapteni kwinqwelomoya yayimnandi. Ngesingazange size ukuba besisazi,” itshilo iDaily Mail.
Ukuya kuthi ga kwi-10,000 yamaBritane kuqikelelwa ukuba aseRhodes, kunye neenqwelomoya zokubuyela ekhaya ukuhlangula abakhenkethi ngoku babuyela e-UK.
Abanye abaqhubi benqwelomoya, kubandakanya iTUI, baqhubekile nokuthumela abakhenkethi esiqithini kwangoMgqibelo ebusuku, abathengi bekhalaza ukuba “balahliwe” apho.
NgeCawa, iBBC idlan’ indlebe nabakhweli abavalelekileyo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iRhodes abashiywe bengenalo naluphi na uncedo, bengenalwazi, kwaye bebesahleli kwaye belele kumgangatho wesikhululo seenqwelomoya emva kweeyure ezingama-27 belinde ukuhamba kwabo okucwangcisiweyo ngoMgqibelo, xa ekugqibeleni basuswa ekuphumeni. isango ngaphandle kwengcaciso, akukho manzi, kwaye akukho nto kubushushu obunyukayo.
Ngeli xesha, kugxilwe kuhambo lokubuyela kwabakhenkethi ukuya eJamani. Umbutho wokuHamba waseJamani (DRV) uxelele ngoMvulo: "Abakhenkethi baneenqwelomoya ezininzi ezisebenzayo namhlanje, ngomso, nangoLwesithathu ukuzisa abahambi abachatshazelwe kukufuduka ekhaya."
Abakhenkethi abaninzi babengenakutya namanzi yaye kwanyanzeleka ukuba bafune iibhedi zokwexeshana kwiibhokisi zekhadibhodi, iindawo zokuphumla elangeni, kwanakwiinqwelo zemithwalo.
USekela Sodolophu waseRhodes Athansios Bryinis uthe, “Amanzi akhona kuphela kunye nokutya okungaqhelekanga. Asinabo oomatrasi neebhedi.”
Imimoya ukuya kuthi ga kwi-35 mph yenze ukuba kube nzima ngakumbi kubacimi bomlilo ukucima amadangatye atshabalalisayo. Ngokulindeleke ukuba amaqondo obushushu afike kwi-45C, iSebe loKhuseleko loLuntu lilumkise ngomngcipheko omkhulu womlilo wendle phantse kwisiqingatha seGrisi.
Iifoto kumajelo eendaba aseBritane zibonise amawaka abakhenkethi abazama ngamandla ukubaleka i-inferno kwiiyure ezingama-24 ezidlulileyo, abaninzi banyanzelwa ukuba balahle izinto zabo kwaye balale kwiilwandle nakwimigangatho yehotele ukuba abanako ukuya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya. Ezinye iintsapho zazihamba umgama oziikhilomitha ngeeflops zazo, iiCroc, okanye iimbadada zazo, zitsala iisutikheyisi zazo yaye zithwele iiflebhile zamachibi ukuze zifike kwindawo ekhuselekileyo.
UMphathiswa woTshintsho lweMozulu kunye noKhuseleko loLuntu ubiza le ngxaki, lelona lizwe likhulu lokufuduswa komlilo wasendle kwimbali. ECorfu, abantu abangama-2,000 bayalelwe ukuba baphume namhlanje, ngoMvulo njengoko umlilo ugquba kumantla-mpuma esiqithi. Abakhenkethi babexinaniswe kwiindawo zokhuseleko ezikolweni, kwizikhululo zeenqwelo-moya nakwiindawo zemidlalo.
Amaqondo obushushu kumazantsi eGrisi kumbindi welizwe anyuke afikelela kwi-113 degrees kwezi ntsuku zidlulileyo. Ngokutsho kwesithethi sikarhulumente, uPavlos Marinakis, kukho umyinge wama-50 omlilo omtsha oye wavutha kwiintsuku ezili-12 ezidlulileyo, kuquka ne-64 ngeCawa.
