A large consignment of hygiene kits, baby milk and food items are ready for shipment to Libya by SOS Malta.

The organisation has received an urgent request from the ground for medical supplies.

It thanked the public for their support and appealed for further donations.

Last Sunday, two SOS Malta volunteers left for Tunisia to assist in the growing aid effort in the camps at the Libya/Tunisia border.
