What measures is the Maltese government taking to protect the Maltese Islands from a huge influx of migrants from now onwards and in summer when the sea is calm?

whilst appreciating the authorities UTMOST in helping libya's expatriates to get out of libya, in their best way possible (extra flight charters, catamarans), their priority should be focused with our locals in libya! as the english saying goes "CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME"

Hopefully, I sincerely wish to all the Maltese and all the foreigners who presently are caught in Libya, that they will arrive in their respective native countries safe and sound. A big thank you goes to the Maltese Government, the national airline Air Malta, Armed Forces of Malta and Malta Police Corp for giving all their constant efforts and support in helping all those who require immediate help.

Let's pray together so that our Nationals will return home safely and hopefully for peace to reign. And I join JApap, in thanking everyone working to make this possible.

I fully agree with JApap. As the then prime minister K. Mifsud Bonici saved the life of Mr. M. Gaddafi way back in the 80's isn't it possible for Dr. Mifsud Bonici to contact Mr Gaddafi to help all the Maltese to get out of the country. Gaddafi owes us one. All help should be considered. I have friends in Libya and it was just a thought. alfasos

The Local goverment through AirMalta is doing a fantastic Job. It was very quick to set up this emergency telephone line (the brits set it up only yesterday) and is working 24/7 to get our nationals out of Libya. Unlike other nations, like the U.S., our nationals do not have to pay for the service. I am so proud to be Maltese. A big thank you for your work to anyone involved .. including the goverment officials, Airmalta staff, AFM (controlling all foreigners landing in Malta.. and possibly illegal immigrants soon), Customs... everyone. Great Job guys!!

My friend in the UK tells me that the situation in Libya is now very grave indeed and the trouble he thinks will spread north towards the whole of the mediterraean. I hope the Maltese will get back home safely.
