€228,581.98 has been raised by the Maltese and Gozitan people in aid of the people in great suffering in Gaza.
This fundraising campaign, which took place over ten weeks, was coordinated by Caritas Malta at the request of the Bishops of Malta and Gozo.
Donations were made by parishes, religious communities, individuals in Malta and Gozo, companies and other private entities.
The Church in Malta said that the money raised was passed on to Caritas Internationalis. Since 2023, Caritas Internationalis, together with its collaborators, has helped more than 1.7 million people in Gaza through food, shelter and dignified housing, water, sanitation and hygiene, financial assistance, and psychosocial support.
“Caritas Malta is grateful for the support that the Maltese and Gozitan people have shown for this appeal and with the sum raised, further work will continue with these vulnerable people in Gaza,” said Anthony Gatt, Director of Caritas Malta. He added, “Caritas Malta is committed to continuing its work and responding through Maltese society to emergency calls.”
Earlier this year, the sum of €31,485 was raised in aid of people in Myanmar due to the strong earthquake that hit this country last March.
This fundraising campaign was also coordinated by Caritas Malta at the request of the Bishops of Malta and Gozo.
