Naguib Sawiris an Egyptian Billionaire has shown his concern over the plights of Syrian Refugees fleeing the war torn Syria.
He offered to buy a Mediterranean Island off the coast of Italy or Greece and create a new Independent country for the Immigrants.
The business tycoon first announced the initiative through Twitter on Tuesday. His tweets were shared hundreds of times within a few hours.
Greece or Italy sell me an island,ill call its independence and host the migrants and provide jobs for them building their new country— Naguib Sawiris (@NaguibSawiris) September 1, 2015
Crazy idea .. Maybe but at least temporary until they can return to their countries ??!!— Naguib Sawiris (@NaguibSawiris) September 1, 2015
More than 2,300 people have died at sea trying to reach Europe since January, many of them Syrians who fled their country's civil war, according to International Organization for Migration.
Sawiris said in a television interview the he plans to approach the governments of Greece and Italy saying he believed his plan could definitely work
What a great Plan it is.I am saddened by the ordeal these people are going through, especially the children.War makes no sense.
