Another six Libyan patients arrived in Malta for treatment last night.

The patients, who were injured during the fighting in Sirte, came to Malta from Misurata.

Five, including an eight-year-old boy, will be receiving treatment at St James Hospital while a three-year-old child in critical condition with head injuries has been taken to Mater Dei's Intensive Therapy Unit.

A number of Libyans injured in the war are currently being treated in Malta as part of Malta's humanitarian aid to its neighbour.
