Update: Billionaire Is “Optimistic” About Buying Island for Refugees
Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris is more optimistic than ever that he’ll soon buy an island where Syrian refugees can live.
In September he announced his plan to buy an uninhabited island from either Greece or Italy, and within weeks had already found two possible islands for his project.
Sawiris has since expanded his list to 17 islands with a goal of determining which could support the most people — he has proposed a population 200,000.
