Two SOS Malta volunteers - nurse David Grech and Dr Jeffrey Bonnici have left for Tunisia this afternoon to assist in the growing aid effort in the camps at the Libya/Tunisia border.

SOS Malta will provide first aid and assist in emergency hygiene and sanitation to prevent spread of disease.

A needs assessment will be carried out in collaboration with Dr Nejib Karoui who runs the local organisation -Association de l'entraide et de la Solidarite Sociale.

As people flee their country the humanitarian needs increase. SOS Malta called on the Maltese to help keep families safe and healthy.

A €20 donation would buy a hygiene kit, including sanitary supplies, towel, comb, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste and underwear.

Donations will also help restore hope and provide critical aid to families.
