Malta, 24th July 2023. In the past weeks Malta has been severely impacted by the heatwave that has been sweeping across southern Europe. The people on the island have experienced sweltering heat with temperatures soaring over 40°C for days at a time, which has contributed towards several power cuts and water shortages across certain parts of the island, further exacerbating the impact on residents.
Vulnerable communities have suffered the consequences, especially the migrants residing in reception centres. In response to this emergency, MOAS stepped in to support those in the migrant community who are struggling to cope with these conditions. We are delivering urgently needed hydration supplies through the provision of water and electrolytes.
On Thursday 24th July, MOAS delivered 1,400 litres (700 bottles) of drinking water and 700 doses of re-hydration mineral salts to the residents of the Peace Lab, to help them better cope with the extreme heath. The donation has been made possible through our amazing donors invaluable support, in collaboration with Farsons Direct and JV Pharma.
Temperatures may continue to soar this summer, and MOAS still needs support to continue helping those in need.
A donation of 10 Euros will provide a day’s worth of hydration supplies to ten vulnerable people.
