A fund in aid of the families of the victims of the Simshar tragedy has been launched by the Resources Ministry and the fisheries cooperatives.
The government and the cooperatives will be contributing. The donations will be over and above assistance which the government will give to the families.
Contributions may also be made by the public in Bank of Valletta account 40017401487 or HSBC account 089020028050.
Resources Minister George Pullicino again praised the fishermen's community for their solidarity with the families.
