Third of
Maltese feel
worn out
MARIANNA CALLEJA
FOR the people of Gaza, this war is
nothing new, Sanaa El-Nahhal told
MaltaToday on Tuesday afternoon.
"I am from Gaza, my family is all
there. All the time I watch the news
or wait for the phone call to tell me
that someone I know has died," she
told MaltaToday with a heavy heart.
On Tuesday afternoon El-Nahhal,
an Arabic Language Centre direc-
tor joined Palestinians and Maltese
supporters at Valletta to protest
against the ongoing Israeli siege on
Gaza that has claimed the lives of
more than 3,000 people.
Carrying a huge Palestinian flag,
and a banner of children who died
in the conflict, El-Nahhal chant-
ed 'Hurriyeh' (the Arabic word for
freedom) and sang before speakers
addressed the crowd.

A Eurobarometer survey conducted in June and
published last week shows that approximately one-
third of the Maltese population feels tired and worn
out.
Only a fifth of respondents reported feelings
of tranquility and calm. Notably, Malta emerged
with the second-highest proportion of individu-
als who experienced emotional and psychosocial
challenges in the past year.
On a broader European scale, almost half of the
respondents across the EU (46%), admitted to
grappling with emotional or psychosocial prob-
lems like depression and anxiety in the last 12
months.
