The Civil Protection will be receiving supplies to be sent to Turkey and Syria as aid after the earthquakes that occurred earlier this week. The Minister for the Interior, Security, Reforms and Equality Byron Camilleri announced this during parliamentary question time in the House of Representatives.
Civil Protection will be accepting donations from the Maltese public at the fire stations in Hal Far and Xewkija, Gozo, between 9am and 5pm, every day. The Maltese public is encouraged to take food supplies, warm clothing, decks, tents and other material that is needed in the current circumstances of these countries.
