A Malta Red Cross team of paramedics is departing for Cambodia tomorrow to assist in the transportation and repatriation of Lisa Gatt, the girl badly injured in a road accident in Cambodia last week.

The Malta Red Cross said members of the International Federation of the Red Cross and the Cambodian Red Cross proved invaluable in the logistical organisation of the operation and even visited the injured girl at the clinic in Sihanoukville.

Notwithstanding that the clinic intended dismissing Lisa Gatt on Sunday, arrangements were made for her to be kept under observation until arrival of the team of paramedics sent by the Malta Red Cross.

The society thanked all those who sent donations to this cause and the organisations who offered their support, particularly Medcomms Ltd and Emirates, as well as the organisations Kilimanjaro Challenge 4 and Reaching Out.

Donations can still be made at the Red Cross Offices, 104, St Ursula Street, Valletta, at the Malta Red Cross, Room 6, University of Malta, Xewkija, Gozo or in “Bank of Valletta” Account number 10206374012.
