Malta Sends Further Humanitarian Aid To Libya

Malta Sends Further Humanitarian Aid To Libya
Sep 26 2023 Share

The Ministry for Home Affairs, Security Reforms and Equality, in partnership with the Muslim community, is assisting in providing humanitarian aid to the Libyan city of Derna, which is still recovering from the massive floods it experienced a few weeks ago.

The stockpile is currently being held at the Ħal Far Open Centre.

During a visit to the centre, Minister for Home Affairs, Security, Reforms and Equality Byron Camilleri, the Muslim community’s Imam Mohammed Elsadi and AWAS’ Chief Executive Clayton Xuereb noted that a substantial amount of clothes, foodstuffs and other humanitarian aid started being collected in just a few days.

Minister Camilleri said that on behalf of the government, he immediately took up Imam Elsadi’s plea for continued Maltese aid to Libya and the provision of humanitarian supplies to Derna. Minister Camilleri referred to the government’s commitment to assist the Libyan population in such a difficult time and the immediate search and rescue aid mission, Civil Protection Department and Armed Forces of Malta personnel conducted in Derna.

Imam Mohammed Elsadi voiced the Muslim community’s gratitude for Libya’s aid, over the years, to Muslims living in Malta and noted that this aid is now being reciprocated. Imam Elsadi acknowledged the support the Maltese government gave Libya during the past weeks after the devastation caused by the floods and for AWAS’s acceptance to be used as a logistical hub in the humanitarian aid mission.

Attendees were treated to an exclusive preview of Kia’s latest car models, each a masterpiece of modern engineering equipped with cutting-edge technology. These vehicles are a testament to Kia’s unwavering dedication to sustainability, a commitment additionally reflected by the announcement of long-distance swimming environmentalist  Mr. Neil Agius as the official brand Ambassador. Neil’s tireless efforts and dedication to battling pollution and promoting sustainability, resonates with Kia’s values, reflecting in their environmentally conscious designs but also in their efficient and eco-friendly performance.

A short musical interlude by renowned Maltese singer, Ivan Grech, main singer, and author of the famous band Winter moods, also included an innovative twist , powered by a V2L (Vehicle To Load) technology connected to a Kia EV6 on display. This also demonstrates the brand’s commitment to sustainable solutions and forward-thinking technology.
