As part of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September, Puttinu Cares has highlighted the dedicated efforts of the team at Rainbow Ward, Malta’s only pediatric oncology ward. In a recent post, the organization praised the medical staff for their continuous work in providing essential care to children battling cancer.

Puttinu Cares emphasized the hope and strength that the Rainbow Ward team brings to both the young patients and their families, making the ward a beacon of support in Malta’s healthcare system. The post called on the community to come together in support of these children, stressing that every contribution, whether financial or through awareness, can make a difference.

Puttinu Cares, known for its work with children with cancer and their families, continues to play a pivotal role in providing resources and raising awareness for the cause, ensuring that no family faces the journey alone.

Flight Diverted After Passenger Discovers Live Mouse in In-Flight Meal

Flight Diverted After Passenger Discovers Live Mouse in In-Flight Meal

A Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) flight from Oslo to Malaga made an emergency landing in Copenhagen after a mouse was found in a passenger’s meal on Wednesday. The mouse emerged as a woman opened her in-flight meal, prompting the unscheduled stop.

SAS spokesperson Øystein Schmidt explained that the diversion was necessary as rodents pose a potential safety threat, particularly by possibly damaging electrical wiring. “This is an extremely rare occurrence,” Schmidt said, adding that the airline is reviewing its procedures with suppliers to prevent a repeat incident.

Passengers were transferred to a different aircraft to complete their journey to Malaga. Jarle Borrestad, a passenger on the flight, told the BBC that the situation remained calm, with no one showing signs of distress. He did, however, tuck his trousers into his socks to prevent the mouse from crawling up his legs.

This incident follows another rodent-related travel disruption earlier in the week, when a train in southern England was stopped due to two squirrels boarding a carriage—one of which refused to leave.

The mouse incident added just a few extra hours to the overall journey.

Public Recognition For Assaulted Officers’ Courage
Sep 22 2024 Share

Taking to social media, PN MP and Shadow Minister for Home Affairs, Security and Reforms Darren Carabott said that, following the footage that emerged last night, police officers Clive and Aiden deserve all the help and recognition they deserve.

‘Despite being few, they did not fear taking action and entering a dangerous situation’, wrote Carabott.

‘A reform is needed, and the police corp cannot have anymore closed stations, low numbers that cannot manage the population, a lack of investment, and public order and security getting worse’.

‘The police corps deserves so much better. Today, more than ever, we need to thank all the officials and their families.’
