A Maltese girl who was injured in a traffic accident in Cambodia earlier this month is currently resting in a hospital in Thailand and plans to continue her journey to the capital Bangkok tomorrow.

Lisa Gatt, 25, was injured in a motorcycle accident on April 7, breaking her thigh bone. She was operated upon in a small Cambodian clinic.

Her sister Lia, who has been collecting funds to help her sister, said she arrived in Thailand yesterday accompanied by a Maltese Red Cross team and was in good spirits.

The Red Cross team in a statement said Lisa underwent a full medical examination and a new dressing was applied to her wounds.

"The results of this examination illustrate that Lisa’s condition is improving. In fact, during a physiotherapy session she even managed to walk three paces using walking aids.

"Tomorrow, the Malta Red Cross team shall depart for a clinic in Bangkok where the patient shall be cared for until her repatriation which is scheduled for Tuesday.

The team thanked all those who had generously donated to this cause.

It said that further contributions would be greatly appreciated at the Red Cross offices at 104, Saint Ursula Street, Valletta or at Room 6, University of Malta Building, Xewkija, Gozo or in Bank of Valletta Account number 10206374012.
