Examining Robert Abela's changing fortunes in MaltaToday's trust

HAZEM Saeed Al-Naizi, the di-
rector of the Mabarat Al-Rahma
orphanage, paints a devastating
picture of the Gaza Strip. People
sleep in tents and live in fear and
hunger as they battle the spread
of diseases and the bitter winter
cold. With no fuel and electricity,
access to communication services
and the internet is difficult.
"Thousands of children and
women have lost their lives,
homes, and hospitals. Schools
have been demolished, roads have
been destroyed, and people have
been forced to flee in search of
safety from death," he told Malt-
aToday.
"The environment is unsafe,
with polluted water, chaos, and an
increase in incidents of theft and
murder. The people of Gaza are
living in a real hell – a hell that is
unbearable."
