The family who lost their home in the devastating Gżira fire earlier this week will be provided with temporary accommodation through the Housing Authority, Minister for Accommodation and Lands Owen Bonnici has announced.In a statement, Bonnici said the government immediately began working to identify the family’s needs following the blaze.“With the help of the Housing Authority, we identified the needs of the family affected, who lost their home,” he said.He confirmed that the government will be assisting the family with the temporary accommodation they require, describing the move as part of its commitment to support people facing difficult circumstances.“It is our duty to provide the necessary assistance,” Bonnici said, adding that “this support is part of our commitment to remain close to those going through difficult circumstances. This is what a just society looks like.”The announcement comes days after a major fire ripped through an ironmongery in Gżira, sending thick plumes of smoke into the sky and forcing nearby residents to evacuate. The blaze also spread to neighbouring properties, leaving at least one family without a home.Following the incident, a fundraiser was launched to help the affected family as the community rallied to support them while they begin rebuilding their lives.If you’d like to support the family during this difficult time, click here to donate to the cause.•
