Feb 20 2024

Three-year-old Selah, a survivor of the recent Israeli airstrike in Gaza, has arrived in Malta.

Tragically, the airstrike claimed the lives of her mother and brother, leaving Selah with severe injuries. Her heartwarming reunion with her father, facilitated by social media, was a beacon of hope amidst the tragedy.

Robert Abela shared a snap of himself and Lydia Abela welcoming the young girl, stating that “we will take care of her in Malta, from our hearts.” Additionally, Minister for Home Affairs, Security, Reforms and Equality Byron Camilleri stated that, following a request for assistance, he is happy that Malta will once again enact a humanitarian role, rather than engaging in war.

The dire state of healthcare in Gaza was underscored by the World Health Organization’s report that only 11 out of 36 hospitals in the region are functioning, with a drastic reduction in hospital bed capacity.

The journey to Malta was made possible through the generosity of donors and the collaborative efforts of the Palestinian Embassy in Malta and the Maltese government.

Those wishing to assist in bringing more injured Gazan children to Malta for medical treatment or to donate essential aid to Gaza are encouraged to contact the embassy at 27801200 or contribute via Revolut at 99619998 or BOV Mobile pay 99922000.
