Kristen herself is also undergoing treatment and has to travel to England to continue therapy. Despite this, the couple found time to bring joy to several children suffering this Easter. Puttinu Cares thanked and congratulated the two deeply for their kind gesture. Well done to both of you!

Cargo ship blocking Suez Canal freed

Mar 29 2021

The Ever Given cargo ship which has blocked the Suez Canal for over a week has finally been dislodged. Running aground, the ship caused many other vessels to have to wait as attempts at freeing the ship were carried out, essentially postponing many important cargo deliveries. Diggers were called to remove approximately 27,000 cubic meters of sand, digging deep into the canal to get the ship afloat.

Despite it not being clear whether the Canal could operate as normal or whether all the other ships lying in wait can proceed with their voyage, the crux of the work is done stated Maritime services provider Inchcape. The canal allows for 12% of the world’s trade to flow, and many other ships have decided to go around the southern top of Africa.

Nurse’s Union accuse Health Ministry of fake news due to no Mount Carmel refurbishments

Mar 29 2021

The Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses says are concerned as no refurbishment of more decrepit wards seems to be taking place. The union lamented this since they were allegedly promised a €6 million investment to refurbish the old mental health hospital. With wards closed off seven years ago and more to be closed in the coming weeks, the union accused the health authorities of abandonment and that promises of refurbishment were simply fake news.

The union stated that ‘no investment has materialised at Mount Carmel Hospital except for the re-allocation of chronic patients.’ The MUMN added that staff frequently encounters difficulty finding new beds for admissions, resulting in a lack of dignity for patients.
