A crisis intervention centre has been inaugurated in Gozo to offer alternative accommodation to individuals or families going through social problems.
The centre was inaugurated by Gozo Minister Giovanna Debono and blessed by Gozo bishop Mario Grech.
The minister said the centre could be set up through collaboration between the ministry and the Gozo curia.
Mgr Grech said that the need for such a centre in Gozo had long been felt to cater for the poor of modern society.
