The Civil Protection Department intends to hold a public activity to collect provisions for the basic needs of victims hit by recent disasters.
The CPD made particular reference to the latest catastrophic earthquake which hit Haiti yesterday and to the possible needs which may still be required by the Albanian population who were affected by the torrential rains of last week.
The collection will take place at the Humanitarian Aid Section of the Civil Protection Department at Shipwrights Wharf Marsa (behind Marsovin Ltd.) on Saturday and Sunday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Monetary donations may be effected in Bank of Valletta account 40018758443 and HSBC account 078-002391-050.
Another appeal was made for the Haiti victims by SOS Malta. Donations to SOS may be deposited in:
