Malta: “No income is putting residents at risk”

As we are in another week of partial lockdown, the lack of work is making its effects felt on the most vulnerable people in our society. Newsbook.com.mt reached out to Mgr Alfred Vella who heads the Malta Emigrants’ Commission to learn more about how the outbreak of coronavirus in Malta has impacted their work and the lives of the people who would usually seek their assistance.

The Malta Emigrants’ Commission office in Valletta which was a reference point to asylum seekers and migrants living in the community as well as those living at the open centres or at shelters, has been closed off in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus. The employees have been working from home and are trying to assist those who come forward as best as they could.
